Board Member Application

The deadline for 2022 Omaha Mom Prom Board Member Applications is April 30, 2021.

Background:
Omaha Mom Prom is a 501c3 Nonprofit that holds a yearly “prom” event to raise funds for other local nonprofits. The board is voluntary and there are no paid members. Board terms will run on a one-year term from beginning of event planning through the event.

Board members meet via Zoom bimonthly until the August prior to the event, then meet monthly until 30 days prior to the event, at which time meetings will become weekly. They will agree to use the app Slack for communication and Google Documents for record-keeping. Board members will adhere to the bylaws of the nonprofit and agree to attend the Omaha Mom Prom event.

Board members are assigned roles of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Communications. They agree to work with others to fulfill the needs and roles of the board including the requirement of securing 15 raffle items, attending meetings, working with the chosen nonprofit beneficiary, and attending and working the event.

Board members will maintain confidentiality of event and items as well as maintain positive talk around other members of the board, members of the beneficiary organization, and at and about the event. Any lapse in agreement will result in discharge from the board.
