Advisory Council Agreement

The Advisory Council is different from the Board of Directors in two key ways: 1) there is no obligation to attend meetings and/or participate in committees; and 2) the Advisory Council has no specific governance or fiduciary responsibility.

Instead, the purpose of membership is to serve as an enthusiastic ambassador and steward of the organization’s mission and work in the community. The goal of the Advisory Council is to support the organization through individual members’ professional expertise, access to networks, influence in the community, participation in events, and charitable donations.

I pledge to:

  • Contribute to and attend fundraising activities and events whenever possible and facilitate donations from others.

  • Serve as a professional resource to the organization when needed.

  • Lend my name and influence to the organization when needed and appropriate.

  • Share the message by serving as a positive ambassador for the organization.

  • Unless required by law to do so, shall not use nor disclose any Confidential Information concerning Fortitude or any of its participants to any person other than for the purposes of Fortitude.

Membership is by invitation only. Members are appointed for a one-year term beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30. Terms are renewable each year at the discretion of the organization and the member. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any partnership, employer-employee, or agency relationship. Either Member or Fortitude may terminate the membership at any time for any reason.
