VSC is seeking board members that are committed to the agencies vision and mission.

- To devote time to learn how the agency functions — its uniqueness, strengths, needs, and its place in the industry — and share your knowledge and act as an informed advocate of the agency
- To support the agency’s fundraising efforts through personal giving, and to participate in the fundraising process
- To carefully prepare for, regularly attend, and actively participate in bi-monthly board meetings and committee assignments
- To maintain the confidential nature of board deliberations and to avoid acting as spokesperson for the entire board unless specifically authorized to do so
- To understand the role of the board as a policy-making body and to avoid participation in administration policy

- To make judgments always on the basis of what is best for the organization as a whole
- To refrain from actions and involvement that might prove embarrassing to the organization and to resign if such actions or involvement develops
