✅ Serve on one or more committees; serve as an officer if called upon by the Board Chair

✅ Represent the organization to stakeholders; act as an ambassador

✅ Ensure our commitment to a diverse board and staff that reflect the entirety of the city of Atlanta

✅ Consider Propel ATL a philanthropic priority and make annual gifts that reflect that priority

✅ (optional) for the upcoming board cycle we're interested in candidates with communications and marketing expertise
