The University of Michigan Rugby team (UMRFC) is a perennial national top competitor in the sport of rugby that provides an unparalleled leadership and character development experience for its student-athletes and enhances the standing of the University of Michigan. To support the team, the Michigan Rugby Foundation is developing initiatives around four focus areas: team development and rugby competitiveness, academic excellence, service, and post-collegiate opportunities. Rugby is about more than just the 80 minutes on the field, and the MRF will help to prepare players for life, both on and off the pitch.
The mission of the Michigan Rugby Foundation is to to enhance, enrich, and ensure the continuous growth of rugby, and its positive impact on the current and future students of the University of Michigan.
Directors possess high ethical standards and a commitment to the organization’s mission and vision. Service requires leadership, fundraising, governance, communications, and the ability to rally others toward a shared goal. Specifically, we are seeking a diverse group of individuals with executive experience who represent the rich past, present, and future of Michigan rugby.
1. Believe in and be an active advocate and ambassador for the values, mission, and vision of the organization.
2. Work with fellow Directors to fulfill the obligations of Board membership as articulated in the job description of the Board of Directors, in these performance expectations, and in keeping with all other policies.
3. Work with fellow Directors to create an effective, positive, and inclusive culture on the Board that holds each other accountable, asks for support and help when needed, and respects the diversity of perspectives and experiences of other Directors.
4. Act in a way that contributes to the effective operation of the Board – and work with fellow Board members and staff to assure that the Board functions well.
5. Regularly attend Board and committee meetings. Prepare for these meetings by reviewing materials and bringing the materials to meetings. Use conversation as a core business practice, asking strategic questions and participating in dialogue while creating space for others’ questions and experiences.
6. Keep informed about the organization, its issues, and its connection to the community through active participation within the organization, to include event attendance, and conscientious connections outside the organization.
7. Help cultivate and support a culture of giving in the organization and make a personally significant annual financial contribution to the organization.
8. As appropriate, use personal and professional contacts and expertise to benefit the organization, without compromising ethics or trespassing on relationships.
9. Actively serve on at least one committee on an ongoing basis.
