New Resource for Recruiting Future Board Members

Executive directors and commissioners are often approached with questions from potential board members about the qualifications required for board membership and process of being elected or appointed to the board.

In December, IAPD will send to the executive directors of all IAPD member agencies a pamphlet called “So, You Want to Serve on the Park Board” that succinctly describes board members’ roles and responsibilities, the characteristics of good board members and the steps a citizen must take to be elected to the park board.

Executive directors and board secretaries should find this to be a useful handout to give to potential candidates.
