Board Meeting Schedule

The 1ninety-nine Board of Directors meets monthly, with an additional annual Board Retreat held on the first Saturday in November.

• Alternate monthly meetings are conducted virtually.

• In-person meetings are typically hosted at:

  • Olathe Public Libraries, or

  • a local business board room/community partner location.

Board members are expected to maintain at least 8/12 meetings attendance at scheduled meetings and retreats. 3 consecutive unapproved missed meetings, there is assumed resignation from the BOD.

Board Candidate Process

Prospective board members begin with an informal meet-up with co-founders Rachel Heidrick and Lori Jonas to learn more about:

• the 1ninety-nine mission and vision,

• organizational culture,

• Core Values, and

• expectations of Board service.

If both parties feel there may be a strong mutual fit, the candidate is invited to attend three consecutive Board of Directors meetings as a guest observer. During this time, candidates are encouraged to:

• observe board operations,

• ask questions,

• engage in discussion, and

• share more about their personal connection to the 1ninety-nine mission.

Following these visits, candidates who wish to pursue board membership may formally express interest. The Board of Directors then votes on board placement.
