The role of a Freegle Director is laid out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HFgRRDk3N1R06bDOQpBERkNYFrcp_N8ptiMxSUmn-lY/edit
Directors are Trustees and should:
- Act in Freegle’s best interests,
- Manage Freegle’s resources responsibly, and
- Act with reasonable care and skill
also:
- You are expected to attend regular Board Meetings, and to have read all papers presented to that meeting.
- You are expected to follow and contribute to discussion between meetings except where circumstances prevent you from doing so.
- You must work with other Board members, primarily online, to ensure the Board is an effective body. This requires good team-working.
- You are expected to participate in tasks over and above Board Meetings from time to time. This typically involves working with one or two other Directors as a sub-group, for example to investigate a particular area and make a recommendation to the whole Board.
