TCM Director Role and Responsibilities 

 

About Twin Cities in Motion: Our vision is to be a community that engages each other through movement, making for a healthier society both socially and physically.  

 

Make an Impact: Twin Cities in Motion has served the running community for over 45 years. We seek purpose-driven leaders who can help the organization welcome and better serve our community for the next 45 years. To succeed in this critical mission, we need diverse perspectives and experiences to join our Board of Directors. Directors are expected to provide governance, leadership, and stewardship, in good faith and in the best interest of the corporation, to Twin Cities In Motion (TCM).   

 

Directors are required, by TCM’s bylaws, to have the willingness and ability to regularly attend Board meetings (4-6 per yr), applicable committee meetings (3-8 per yr) and periodic TCM events and functions, and to participate in all fundamental policy-making decisions related to the mission of TCM.  

 

Directors of the TCM Board provide professional and independent guidance to TCM on matters of governance, strategic direction, and to a lesser extent, operations.  Examples of matters overseen or reviewed by the Board include:  

 

• Nonprofit mission and vision  

• Strategic plan  

• Brand and community presence   

• Organizational structure and opportunities  

• Selection and on-going support and evaluation of the President  

• Annual budget and financial accountability  

• Major organizational decisions and commitments  

• Ensuring there are sufficient resources for the organization to fulfill its mission, and adequate progress toward financial goals and asset protection  

• Annual compensation planning  

• Delegation of management authority  

• Conducting affairs of the board including board development, succession planning and transition, and effectiveness  

 

All directors are fiduciaries of TCM and are expected to represent TCM positively in the community and abide by director’s legal and ethical obligations, including but not limited to TCM’s Standards of Conduct and Conflicts of Interest policies.   

 

Directors play an important part in the Twin Cities community and are expected to provide TCM with connections to current and prospective partner organizations.   As a nonprofit, TCM expects each director to make an annual financial contribution at a level that reflects TCM as one of their philanthropic priorities.
