Members of the Wallingford Community Senior Center Board of Directors contribute their skills, networks, and time towards achieving shared goals to the benefit of older adults and the Wallingford community. Our mission is to “Connect and empower seniors to live happy, healthy, and engaged lives.”
A member of the WCSC Board of Directors prepares for and participates in board meetings and one or more subcommittees, as well as organizational planning and retreats. Members share passion and expertise to advance the mission and goals of the organization while providing program and executive oversight. Additionally,
· The Financial Oversight Committee ensures WCSC’s integrity as a 501(c)(3) organization by providing financial oversight of the budget and financial statements and ensuring adequate liability coverage for operations.
· The Fundraising and Marketing Committee serves as advocates of the organization in various constituent groups, enlists others to become involved, and encourages individual contributions, advises on grants, and promotes fundraising events.
· The Board Operations Committee engages in self-evaluation of board performance, sets processes and best practices, ensures board policy compliance, and oversees recruitment to the Board of Directors.
The WCSC Board of Directors is interested in all applicants, and is specifically interested in members with a background in philanthropic development, the legal profession, or in aging and geriatrics. WCSC is currently engaged in a three-year Strategic Plan. We are interested in hearing how you can contribute!
In order to best reflect the diversity of our community, we strongly encourage individuals impacted by discrimination - not limited to ageism, ableism, racism, patriarchy, and socioeconomic disadvantage – to apply.
Board of Directors Meetings are held monthly on fourth Thursdays over Zoom, and are “hybrid” at the Wallingford Community Senior Center or virtually in January, April, July, and October.
