• Challenge and refine our approaches to align with our values and commitment to achieving zero hunger.
• Identify opportunities and actively engage in resource mobilization to advance our mission.
• Be active in or lead one or more Board committees to guide and provide recommendations to enhance our work.
• Become our ambassadors and advocates.
• Help achieve our annual fundraising goals.
• Recruit, supervise, evaluate, and compensate the Chief Executive Officer.
