Become a board member

The Foundation for Independent Living is actively recruiting board members who support independent living for people with disabilities and the mission of Mountain State Centers for Independent Living.

We are currently seeking to combine the talents of our business community with the experience of our disability community to create broader awareness of our work while continuing to build community partnerships that create opportunities for both the people and businesses of West Virginia.

The responsibilities of a Foundation for Independent Living board member include:

fund raising to support the work of Mountain State Centers for Independent Living and other activities in support of the Mountain State CILs;
providing financial support to Mountain State Centers for Independent Living and other activities in support of the Mountain State CILs; and
promotion of Mountain State Centers for Independent Living and its services.

If you have experience in the areas listed above and believe that people with disabilities should be able to live independently in their community, please contact Anne Weeks to learn more about becoming a board member for the Foundation for Independent Living.
