The Ford Family Foundation Alumni Leadership Council is currently recruiting applicants for open positions on the Council. The Council partners with the Foundation to lead alumni-focused initiatives. The Council replaces what was formerly know as the Ford Scholar Alumni Association, which dissolved in February 2021. If you have a passion for helping others and want to connect with other alumni while developing your personal and professional skills, then this is the opportunity for you!<\/p>\n
Alumni of the Ford Scholars, Ford ReStart, and Ford Opportunity scholarship programs are eligible to apply for any of the open positions. No previous experience is needed. You do NOT have to live in Oregon to serve; you can attend council meetings via teleconference or online video communications.<\/p>\n
Those selected for the Council will serve three-year terms and must be committed to attending quarterly council meetings and sit on a committee which meets monthly. The quarterly council meetings are held in different locations each quarter and via Zoom.<\/p>\n
Council members will serve for a term of three years, beginning in June. All new members are required to attend a virtual New Council Member Orientation. They also have the opportunity to meet with their predecessor at the Summer Council meeting (July 10th). New Council members will be added to our online team collaboration tools before their term begins to become familiar with important organizational documents and operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
