Join our Board
Join our Board at Global Professional Alumni of All Saints Secondary School as a Board Member at Large.
What is a Board Member at Large?
A board member at large is a full board member who does not hold a specific position within the board of directors. They serve as a general board member without defined portfolio responsibilities. The role of a board member at large typically involves attending board meetings, offering input on key decisions, and providing expertise or guidance related to the organization's mission and objectives.
​
Despite not having designated duties, board members at large play a significant role in governing boards. They may be assigned tasks by the chair or through board votes based on their skills. Additionally, they have the same voting rights as other board members, can participate in committees, and potentially serve as committee chairs.
