About EAP Board Service

The EAP Governing Board has legal and fiduciary responsibility for the association operations, working in partnership with the executive director. As the association's primary stewards, the EAP Board is also responsible for learning with the future to make effective decisions that will ensure the association is capable of thriving in the years ahead.

Governing Board Expectations

  1. Attend, and prepare carefully for and fully participate in all board meetings as part of an ongoing process of building for high performance.

  2. Operate within a team dynamic and accept shared responsibility for stewardship of the association.

  3. Provide the executive director with overall direction and as requested, advice and guidance on matters of specific concern.

  4. Operate in accordance with association bylaws and policies, antitrust law, as well as local, state and federal laws.
