Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of Directors of the Marion Area Humane Society! Meetings are held in the evenings on the second Thursday of every month with additional committee meetings as needed. Members are encouraged to participate in community awareness volunteer opportunities. The board of directors does not directly oversee the operations of the shelter, rather the shelter is operated by full-time staff who report to the board. The board is responsible for reviewing income and expenses on a monthly basis, making financial decisions for the society, organizing fundraisers and reviewing policies.Candidate InformationFirst and Last Name *Phone *XXX-XXX-XXXXEmail *Street Address *City Zip Code State Best Way to Reach You What is the best method to reach you?TextEmailCallSocial Media What social media outlets do you currently use?
