The Grace C Mae Advocate Center is opening new volunteer positions on its Board of Directors. We are looking for enthusiastic people who want to make a real difference for people going through difficult times. We meet once a quarter, and additional meetings can be held for committees or special reasons. We are currently working on our new strategic plan, which will commence on January 30, 2027. We are looking for people with a background in financial investments, marketing/advertising, event planning, law enforcement or similar public service, family member of person with mental health diagnosis, business owner, construction/contractor, military active duty or veteran, and a person (survivor or family member) affected by cancer. We do have an application process that includes a background check, interviews, and a written application. The Board of Directors provides oversight, leadership, and guides the Executive Director in decision making. The agency provides Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage. The Advocate Center is a non-profit regional mental health clinic with offices located in Washington, Cedar Rapids, Marengo, Marshalltown, and southern central Missouri. Board members can be from anywhere in the U.S. Board members can attend by video conference or by phone. Meetings are held at the Cedar Rapids location. Apply by emailing me at [email protected].
**Current or former patients of Grace C Mae Advocate Center cannot be seated as voting members on the Board of Directors; however, former patients who were discharged at least 10 years ago can serve on special committees in an advisory capacity.**
