[1] wealth

These Board Members primarily provide the organization with financial resource by either donating personally to the organization or by using their personal network to generate donors and funding for the various programs at WYS.

[2] wisdom

These Board Members primarily provide their expertise in an area of interest to WYS, maintain the overall vision of the organization through their votes and review the affairs of the organization impartially, as they serve as arbitrators when the By-Laws' Conflict of Interest clause is invoked.

[3] willingness to serve

These Board Members are intimately involved in the day-to-day affairs of the organization, and often work within the By- Laws' Conflict of Interest Policy. In addition, these individuals served on the WYS Executive Committee.

In addition, candidates and Members of the Board need to be aware of the following:

  • World Youth Served holds his annual election for Members to the Board of Directors every January. The Board terms are staggered, and last 2 years. A Board Member may resign at any time. The requirement in our By-Laws is to have at least three (3) Members, but no more than nine (9), on the WYS Board of Directors.

  • Each Board member is clearly advised, prior to their election to the Board, of the organization's expectation of the Board Member, according to the three "W"s.

  • The minimum time requirement is 4 to 6 hours annually, to attend two board meetings via teleconference. Board Members can be apprised of the progress of the organization either by visiting the organization website, contacting members of the WYS Executive Committee directly, or by reading updates on the secure Directors' Site at www.worldyouthserved.org/directors/.

  • Each Board Member is recommended (but not required) to endorse at least one project, and the endorsement is used in public relations and advertisement campaigns.

Our mission is to bring compassionate individuals and local companies an international profile by supporting programs and awareness initiatives beyond their expectations.
