This volunteer leadership opportunity is ideal for a finance professional who wants to help advance accessible, high-quality healthcare while supporting the long-term financial sustainability of a community-based nonprofit.
About the Role
As a Board member and Finance Committee Chair, you will partner with fellow Board members, the CEO, and the CFO to provide financial oversight and guide the committee’s work.
Key responsibilities include:
• Lead Finance Committee meetings and report recommendations to the Board.
• Guide the committee’s review of budgets, financial statements, cash flow, and financial performance.

• The availability to participate consistently in Board and Finance Committee meetings. Board meetings occur virtually one Wednesday per month starting at 5:30pm for approximately 1:30 hours. An additional Finance committee would be involved as well, also meeting virtually.
• Experience in nonprofit or healthcare finance, community health centers, grants management, or public accounting is especially valuable. A CPA, CFO, controller, or comparable background is welcome but not required.
