Your Story

This question can be answered in writing, in a video, or both.

When developing our Board of Directors for the Wisconsin NICA League, we are looking for specific skills sets as a way to best service the organization and assure an appropriate level of governance. We can call them Board “Super Powers.” The three key areas identified (in no particular order) are:.

1. Corporate Governance (Legal, Insurance, HR, Operations).

2. Financial Control (Accounting, Banking, Negotiation, Procurement).

3. Diversity & Inclusion (Community, Networking, Connections).

Of these three areas, what Super Powers do you possess, or in which areas can you see bringing the most benefit to the Wisconsin NICA League?.
