Love MAP? Interested in getting more involved?

Join the MAP Board!

 

As a non-profit, MAP has a Board of Director's made up of Parents and Guardians that share their time, skills and expertise to help guide, support, and sustain the program. We are currently seeking one more parent/guardian to join our Board of Directors. We meet once a month in the evening for about an hour (via Zoom, except for our first and last meeting of the year which are in person). At the meetings we discuss finances, what’s happening in the programs, business issues, policies & procedures, relationship building with the school and community, planning for MAP’s future, etc. If you think you have a particular skill-set that could benefit the program: construction/maintenance/facilities management, IT/website

design/development, insurance, human resources/employee benefits, etc.. Or you just really want to help us continue to thrive. Please complete a Board Member Profile/Application and send it to Annette.map@comcast.net.

Happy to answer any questions you may have! Thank you for considering it!
