Board of Directors
Last year, more than 1,000 individuals in Southeastern Montana received independent living services because of LIFTT’s commitment to its vision and mission. This year, our nonprofit organization is on track to exceed the number of persons we served last year.
If you are a person with a disability living in our service area, LIFTT invites you to consider applying to become a member of its Board of Directors. As a board member, you will attend quarterly meetings, participate in strategic planning, work on fundraising initiatives and resource development, or serve on committees. Sometimes, board members are expected to recruit donors or consumers. Board members can serve up to three consecutive terms of one year each.
The position is volunteer, nonpaid, and does not offer compensation except reimbursement of authorized expenses. These aspects of the role are non-negotiable.
For more information, don’t hesitate to contact LIFTT’s Executive Director, Carlos Ramalho, at carlosr@liftt.org or 406-294-5190
