The StrongSteps Board of Directors provides governance and oversight to help ensure the organization remains responsible, mission-driven, and accountable to the communities it serves.
Board leadership helps guide organizational strategy, mission stewardship, financial oversight, policy, risk management, and long-term sustainability.
We seek Board leadership that brings different experiences, perspectives, skills, and connections to the organization.
We’re building a board that reflects the communities we serve, people who bring different backgrounds, skills and lived experience to the table. We’ll introduce them here soon. In the meantime, we’re looking for a Treasurer and a Secretary to help guide what comes next.

Executive Leadership manages the organization's daily work: programs, staff, operations, partnerships and community initiatives.
This includes implementing strategy and making day-to-day decisions.
The Board provides governance and oversight: protecting the mission, and overseeing strategy, finances, policy and accountability.
The Board does not replace organizational management. Board members help ensure StrongSteps is responsibly governed and stays accountable to its mission.
Making decisions based on the mission and responsibilities of the organization.
Using organizational resources responsibly.
Taking responsibility for decisions and organizational performance.
Maintaining appropriate governance, policies, controls, and accountability.
Providing appropriate information about the organization and its work.
Remembering that StrongSteps exists to serve people and communities.
Tell us about your experience, interests, connection to the mission, and why you are interested in serving.
StrongSteps reviews your application and considers current Board needs.
Selected applicants may be invited to speak with Board or organizational leadership.
Candidates are considered according to StrongSteps bylaws and Board governance procedures.
New Board members receive information about StrongSteps, governance responsibilities, policies and expectations, then join the Board.
Not necessarily. StrongSteps benefits from Board members with different professional backgrounds, community experiences, and perspectives.
Not necessarily. Previous Board experience can be helpful, but we also consider candidates who are prepared to learn about nonprofit governance and participate actively.
No. Board members serve a governance and oversight role and are separate from the organization's day-to-day staff structure.
StrongSteps is currently recruiting for Treasurer and Secretary. Additional Board opportunities may become available as organizational needs change.
Behavioral health, advocacy, peer support, recovery, social services, healthcare, housing, finance, accounting, law, HR, governance, fundraising, communications, education, emergency management, community development, business, technology and government. Lived experience and meaningful community involvement matter just as much as credentials.
Support the mission, participate actively and prepare for meetings, provide thoughtful oversight, ask questions, maintain confidentiality, identify conflicts of interest, support financial stewardship, serve as an ambassador, and act in the best interests of the organization.

A responsibility to the mission, to the people we serve, to our communities, and to our supporters. Strong leadership helped us begin. Strong governance will help us grow. Help us build the next chapter.
