View source for 2.1 Director Responsibilities

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.
