Attend the annual retreat/planning meeting
As a board member, you must participate in planning the organization’s future. Every board member must attend the entire 3-4 hours session held in December.
Committee & Event Participation
Each board member must actively participate on at least one committee.
- attend meetings
- participate in discussions
- actively supporting any special event sponsored by the committee.
Board members will sign up for the committees of their choice at the Annual Board Member Retreat/Planning Meeting.

Each board member must actively support at least three events.
KOB events include:

Attend Board Meetings
There are eleven board meetings during the year and no meeting in December or January. Attending all meetings is one of the most vital board member expectations.
Make a Personal Donation/Dues
Each board member must make a $200 annual financial commitment.
Solicit Memberships
KOB community programs/projects depend on private donations; therefore, board members must raise the necessary funds.
Participate in Grant Seeking/Fund Raising
Each board member must actively participate in grant-seeking and fundraisers for the administration of Keep Odessa Beautiful programs.
Resign
Unexpected things happen in our lives, and the available time to serve our community changes. Board members must resign if unable to fulfill their commitment to the organization. However, board members can be part of the organization in different capacities that do not require a long-term commitment.
