Board of Directors and Committees
Anyone having been a PHSR member for more than one year may nominate himself or herself or any other person who has been a PHSR member for more than one year to serve on the Board. Nominees must be in good standing, having paid their dues. Nominees must have served the PHSR in some other capacity (committee, event coordination, etc.). Nominees must accept their nominations in writing. The annual meeting, at which elections are held, is typically held in April.
Polish Heritage Society of Rochester board members’ responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
1. Financial – to manage the PHSR investment portfolio in order to keep our financial base solid for many years to come and in keeping with the laws, etc., of the Internal Revenue Service.
2. Administrative/Management – to run PHSR on a monthly basis according to NYS nonprofit public charity laws, regulations, our policies and procedures, etc., and in keeping with our mission to preserve and promote our rich legacy of Polish and Polish American customs, traditions, and culture.
These two key responsibilities require the attention of each board member to many administrative tasks like creating and monitoring our annual operating budget, keeping records, creating and implementing programs, raising funds, attracting new members, awarding grants to other organizations, working with other groups to sponsor programs that promote Polish heritage, running the annual scholarship program, doing the quarterly newsletter, creating a youth outreach to attract Polish youth, and other activities within the framework of a nonprofit organization.
Openings are available on almost any committee.
