Election to the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Waterfront is a distinct honor and carries with it the responsibility of trusteeship of this unique community asset. The following guidelines are intended to focus Board members on the minimum expectations for membership. Active participation on a wider scope is encouraged.

Minimum expectations for Board members are as follows:

1. Attend Board Meetings - Board of Directors meetings are scheduled monthly, usually at noon on the first Wednesday of every month. Members are encouraged to attend at least eight meetings.

2. Membership Dues - Each Board member is required to be a member of the Friends of the Waterfront and pay annual dues of $200.

3. Fund Raising - Each Board member is required to purchase and/or sell at least six tickets to the Annual Silver Anchor Award fund-raiser.
