Call for HPCC Board Public Member Applications

The HPCC Board of Directors is also looking to fill the Public Member(s) position on the 2027 HPCC Board of Directors.

A public member serves as an independent representative of the broader community and brings an external perspective to the nonprofit’s governance. Unlike board members who may be directly connected to the organization’s programs, funding, or professional networks, public members are selected for their ability to reflect community interests, uphold transparency, and strengthen public trust. Their responsibilities typically include participating fully in board meetings, reviewing organizational policies, and offering objective insight into how decisions may affect the community the nonprofit serves. Public members also help ensure accountability by asking questions that center on fairness, accessibility, and ethical practice. While they may not have specialized expertise in the nonprofit’s field, their value lies in their impartiality, lived experience, and commitment to representing the public good.
