Russ Olsen

Director

A Director serves as a member of the Board of Directors and is responsible for providing governance, strategic leadership, and fiduciary oversight for the organization. Directors act in the best interest of the nonprofit and the community it serves, ensuring the organization remains mission-driven, financially sound, and ethically governed.

Directors collaborate with fellow board members to set organizational policy, approve budgets and strategic plans, support and evaluate executive leadership, and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. They are expected to actively participate in board meetings, serve on committees as needed, and contribute professional expertise, perspective, and advocacy to advance the organization’s mission.

Directors also act as ambassadors for the organization—building relationships, promoting its work, and supporting fundraising and community engagement efforts as appropriate.
