EXPECTATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS

Each individual board member is expected to:

• know FHGR’s mission, policies, programs, and needs;

• faithfully read and understand FHGR’s financial statements;

• serve as an active advocate and ambassador for FHGR and fully

   engage in identifying and securing financial resources and

   partnerships necessary for FHGR to advance its mission;

   collective action to fully achieve FHGR’s mission;

• give a meaningful personal financial donation;

• identify personal connections that can benefit FHGR’s fundraising

   and reputational standing;

  conflicts before meetings and actual conflicts during meetings;

Holding firm to our own commitments, we reach out to all whose lives have been forever altered by loss. With compassion and understanding, we provide a place where anyone can wrestle with seemingly impossible questions and do our best to represent the love and hope that we have found in our relationship with the living God.
