Lake County >> The Highlands Senior Service Center (HSSC) is seeking members for their Board of Directors. Due to the retirement of several board members, there are currently four openings.
HSSC is seeking to create a well-balanced mix of individuals to serve as board members. They are seeking active and involved representatives from the community who believe in their mission of providing excellent service to seniors. Especially desired are members with legal experience, accounting or banking experience, or who have experience serving seniors, but all interested individuals are invited to apply. Board members do not have to be seniors to serve. Board members will be expected to attend one meeting a month that generally runs 1-2 hours.
They should also be prepared to be actively engaged in fundraisers, and to serve on committees for various activities. These activities are estimated to encompass an extra 4 hours a month.
