Thank you for your interest in joining the NC MedAssist Board of Directors. The mission of NC MedAssist is to dispense opportunities for improved health and we are actively seeking those community and corporate leaders who can help us achieve our mission. We believe the donation of time, talent and treasure from board members is necessary to efficiently advance our mission and to create the investment in NC MedAssist that we need and value. Much as societal needs change and evolve, so do our internal requirements for Board members. Please know that we value your interest in becoming a Board member, understanding that it is necessary that our mutual needs align.
NC MedAssist uses an application process to identify and recruit board members. This ensures clarity of expectations from NC MedAssist to prospective Board members and also provides an opportunity for the prospective Board member to more fully reflect on if joining the Board is right for the prospect at this time.
This information will be shared with the recruitment committee, reviewed, and the prospective member notified of our determination.
NC MedAssist believes in access to opportunities to improve health regardless of background or status. We aim to provide a culture of belonging in which staff, volunteers, participants and all other stakeholders feel respected, supported, and valued.
Other NC MedAssist Values to note;
According to the CDC, health equity is the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health. Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally with focused and ongoing societal efforts to address avoidable inequalities, historical and contemporary injustices, and the elimination of health and healthcare disparities. NC MedAssist Board Members support this belief and are seeking like-minded members.
Board members are expected to serve a full term, attend board meetings and serve on at least one committee. There is the realization that schedules will conflict which may prevent members from attending 100% of the meetings.
NC MedAssist Board of Director Terms: Two (2), Three (3)-Year Terms for a total of six (6) years. A board member may end their membership earlier due to unforeseen circumstances.
As North Carolina’s only non-profit devoted to providing medical and pharmaceutical support to the uninsured and underinsured, NC MedAssist depends on the generosity of corporate and individual donors. In demonstrating our commitment to the mission and potential donors, all Board Members are expected to financially support NC MedAssist in an appropriate manner.
