At Links Players, we highly value our board members and look to them to make significant contributions to the organization as outlined below:

WHAT WE ASK OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS
Members of the Board of Directors of Links Players International understand the following expectations:

  • A spiritual interest in the activities and personnel of LPI, including a commitment to prayer for the ministry, its board, and its employees
  • Complete one three-year term as a member of the board
  • Pay for travel to and housing, meals, and golf at each of the two semi-annual physical board meetings (meetings are scheduled 1-2 years in advance)
  • Participate in telephonic board meetings as scheduled
  • Serve as board officer as chosen
  • Contribute to Links Players International in at least one of the following four capacities:

BOARD CONTRIBUTIONS
Each board member is asked to contribute to the advancement of LPI in one or more of the following four capacities:

1. Financial provision and/or development events or programs. In addition to paying their way to board events, some board members will make LPI one of their primary charitable beneficiaries. For some, this will involve a stated annual commitment, for others a planned gift arrangement, for others sizeable donations as needed by the ministry, or some combination thereof. These same board members or others may find that they are able to multiply the impact of their giving by sponsoring local or regional development activities (including dinners or golf retreats, such as the Pebble Beach event).

2. Regional Links Fellowship shepherding and training. To broaden the reach and deepen the growth of Links Fellowships around the country, we depend on the volunteer time of the local Links Fellowship leaders, as well as the oversight of assigned regional leaders. The role of these regional leaders is to visit designated Links Fellowships in a region periodically, encouraging them in their progress, training them through sharing activities that have worked with other groups, and informing them of the overall progress of LPI. Some of these regional leaders are drawn from our board members.

3. Media contributions and/or on-call advisory. Because a main focus of the LPI ministry is our media, our board includes members with expertise in this area. Some board members make direct contributions, then, to our media by writing Links Letter articles or Links devotions. These members also are available for advice or direction on time-bound issues relating to media.

4. Speaking and public presentation. As we provide outreach resources, including speakers, some of our board members make themselves available as speakers for Links Fellowship events. Normally, they receive remuneration from the local groups for their travel expenses, as well as honoraria for their presentation. Board members may choose to donate these honoraria to LPI. Additionally, some board members are available to speak on behalf of LPI at fund raising events.
