How our board works
ALPFA Puerto Rico operates with a dedicated "working board" of volunteers, responsible for strategic planning, implementation, and execution of key programming. The Board of Directors is led by the Chapter President, with support from an Executive Committee and a Corporate Advisory Board. There are no salaried or paid positions within the organization.
Directors can recruit committee members (non-board members) to help reach their goals. Executive Board Members serve for two years, while Directors have a one-year term. All board members become Gold members as part of onboarding.
Board members typically have 5+ years of professional experience, with exceptions for candidates who bring exceptional skills in specific areas. Directors average 3 to 5 hours a week, with more during business planning season. Executive board members average 5 to 10 hours a week. All Board Members are expected to show up at ALPFA Puerto Rico events whenever possible. Board meetings are held once a month.
