Frequently Asked Questions

How is the EEFC organized?

The EEFC is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a volunteer board with 5 to 11 members. The board is responsible for defining and promoting the mission of the organization, and oversees operations, staff, and various committees. Board members chair programming, finance, fundraising, and development committees.

Learn more about the board, the staff and the committees. The staff and board can be reached through the contact page.

How does one get on the Board of Directors?

Board terms are 5 years and staggered, so every year new volunteers join the Board. The standing Board communicates about open positions through the listserv and MailChimp. Anyone can apply. If you are interested in joining the Board, please reach out to a current Board member or use the application form.

How does one become a member of the EEFC?

Membership is an annual giving program to help cover the gap between workshop tuitions and the cost of putting on our programs. Different membership levels come with some fun EEFC swag as premiums in addition to the reward of the warm glow of knowing that you are contributing to the continued existence, health, and growth of our organization.
