== The Board ==
Asmbly's Board of Directors (The Board) consists of a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and an unspecified number of "at large" board members. Board members are the fiduciaries who steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as by making sure the nonprofit has adequate resources to advance its mission. The board partners with and guides the executive director toward a long term vision for Asmbly. The Board operates according to Asmbly's bylaws.

*Minutes of board meetings - [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1izGozNaR1nJrbMZfT-XMzEZSffJKgcq5 here]
*Contact the board at board@asmbly.org

===Composition===
New board members are elected by majority of the current board to two year terms. Board terms are staggered so not everybody's up for replacement in the same year. The bylaws do not define a maximum number of board members. The board has been expanded as needed to grow with the organization.
Current board members can be found on the [[Leadership:Board|Leadership]] page.
The bylaws define three specific roles, all other members fall into a general role, as follows:
*President - owns the agenda and generally runs board meetings. Asmbly's president is a voting member of the board.
*Secretary - is responsible for meeting minutes, governing documents, and official policies of Asmbly.
*Treasurer - is responsible for Asmbly's overall budget.
*At-Large Board Members- Doesn't have any specific responsibilities beyond participating in board work and voting on motions before the board.

===Committees of the Board===
Committees of the board are formed according to the bylaws and are assigned to work on specific tasks and make recommendations to the board. Committees may be ad-hock (short term) or standing (long term). Committees may contain non board members so are a great way to get involved in board activities.
====Active committees====
*Finance - Responsible for financial management in coordination with operations.
*Development - Responsible for donor stewardship and development.
*Disciplinary - responsible for handling complex disciplinary issues by gathering facts, making disciplinary recommendations, following up with interested parties, and maintaining the disciplinary archive.

===Initiatives===
====2026====
*Create a budget and track spending vs that budget.
*Hire a paid executive director.
*Audit governance documents, such as the bylaws, for adherence with non profit best practice.
