The Community Boating Center (CBC) is a 501.c.3 nonprofit fostering safe small vessel recreation on Bellingham Bay. The CBC was founded in 2006 and began services to the public in 2007. Programs and services are available to the public. Much-appreciated tax-deductible donations, season-pass sales, dry-moorage fees, and rentals of sailboats and human-powered watercraft enable the CBC to provide the safety and skills education that are the core of the organization’s Mission. Volunteers are integrated into all aspects of the organization from maintaining boats, assisting with rentals, teaching educational classes, tabling and serving as board and committee members.
The CBC is seeking board members to support and further the CBC's Mission. Board members meet on the third Monday; additional hours and meeting times are variable based on the season and the events in a given year. Board terms are three years, with the option to renew.
The Board is responsible for the following:
- Develop and support the Vision and Mision of the CBC
- Secure adequate financial resources
- Manage committees and their progress during board meetings
- Serve on at least one CBC committee (Programs, Operations, Advancement, Board Development, or Finance)
- Build competence in the Board
- Guide and evaluate all services
Desired Qualifications:
- Dedication to furthering the mission of the CBC
- Commitment to representing the CBC
- Experience in nonprofits or on nonprofit boards is a plus, but is not required
Interested applicants should email the CBC at (cbc.ed.2020@gmail.com)
