One of the most significant responsibilities as a board member is to understand that the board is a team and you need to work together as such. Understanding the dynamics of the group, as well as the individual perspectives and opinions of your fellow board members, is crucial to the success of the team, the district, and community you represent. This united approach will help to strengthen the district and provide the grounds for maintaining a clear vision of the future, a unity of purpose, and a cohesive board.
