Board Member Candidate Nomination-AnySchoolers

Board Member Candidate Nomination

This form is for adult community members who are willing to share their time, energy, resources, and connections with AnySchoolers as a nonprofit organization and with homeschooling families at large, nationally and in local hubs. To prevent potential dual relationships in operational leadership and participant experiences, a member of the Board of Directors is not a homeschooling caregiver participating in AnySchoolers programming, but is an AnySchoolers Donor.

What happens after this?

The AnySchoolers Bylaws provide that a Nominations Committee made up of participating homeschooling families will submit candidate nominations to an existing Board of Directors and the Executive Director(s). Since AnySchoolers is a new nonprofit organization and currently forming its first governance board, the Executive Directors and a Nominations Committee of AnySchoolers participants familiar with the goals and dreams of the organization will review nominations at large.

After you complete this nomination, it will be reviewed by the above-mentioned, the Executive Directors will reach out personally to the nominee, determine congruency and fit with our organization and invite to a meeting to review/interview candidates. The Executive Directors/Founders will take the input of the Nominations Committee and appoint the first three board members for AnySchoolers.

Once a Board of Directors is established, a Nomination Committee, appointed by the Executive Directors, is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors, who then review the nominations and elect new members to itself to limited terms. The Nominations Committee does not interview the candidates with the Board of Directors and can recommend as many candidates as desired. All board members are Officers with equal power to one another. AnySchoolers intentionally seeks professionals that are in support fields complimentary to home education.

In addition to the Nominations Committee (who are responsible for finding and recommending candidates), AnySchoolers will establish an Advisory Council made up of homeschooling adults and teens who participate in programming and are familiar with the mission. The Advisory Council will be selected by nomination at large and general online vote by donors annually. The Advisory Council exists to advise the Board of Directors on their direct experience of AnySchoolers needs, dreams and practical day-to-day experiences, bringing the voices of homeschooling families together with the voices of those who are supportive community members. The Advisory Council does not vote in Board of Director decisions.
