General board member with autism

• You meet every month via Zoom.
• You and the other board members monitor the direction of the foundation: what is our objective and how do we best achieve it?
• At the beginning of each year, you critically review and adopt the annual accounts, annual report, budget and activity plan together.
• In between meetings, you work on policy documents in consultation with the other board members, at some distance from day-to-day operations.
• There is occasional contact via email or Whatsapp, which must be responded to in a timely manner.
• In case of a board members absence or induction of new board members, you may be called upon temporarily.

• You think critically and assertively and can clearly express your opinions.
• You can communicate well, verbally or via email and whatsapp.
• You bring your own knowledge or experience, broadening the board's sounding board.
• You agree with Autism Digitals mission statement and you can contribute ideas on how to translate it into policy.
• You have experience in organising or governing.

We aim for a diverse board so we strongly invite groups that are currently not represented, such as people with a migration background, with a physical disability, older people or young people (18+), to respond.

If you recognise yourself in the position but do not (yet) meet all the requirements, we invite you to respond anyway.

Volunteer at Autism Digital

We are looking for new people to join our team with their unique competences and skills. We want to create an environment where all talents can flourish to their maximum potential, regardless of gender, age, cultural origin, nationality or disability. Work is not optional, but we put as little pressure on it as possible. You can always turn to the rest of the team if you are at a loss for words.

Because we are an organisation for and by autistic adults, we do not take on volunteers who are under 18 or who are not autistic themselves. This allows us to safeguard volunteer experience placements for autistic adults and keeps our activities based on our own experience of having autism as an adult.
