Board Elections Now Open
Being a Board Member
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing ECPS’ operation and affairs. All board members are volunteers. This is not a paid position. A board member is responsible for providing counsel and high level direction for the organization and its events. They provide a vision for the organization, not only for the present but also for the future. A board member is expected to uphold the ECPS bylaws and ensure everything the organization decides on will further our mission of cultural understanding and goodwill. Above all, a board member is to ensure the continued success of the organization and its affairs.
