Description
Thank you for your interest in serving on the Board of Directors of Care Seats of Michigan.
Our Board is made up of people who believe that every child deserves to travel safely and every family deserves access to trustworthy, judgment-free child passenger safety education and resources.
We are looking for thoughtful, dependable community members who are willing to contribute their time, skills, experience, relationships, and perspective to help strengthen and grow our organization. Board service is an opportunity to be part of the work—not simply to hold a title.
We welcome individuals with a variety of professional and personal backgrounds, including nonprofit leadership, finance, healthcare, education, law, communications, fundraising, community organizing, business, child and family services, and lived experience.
There is no expectation that you know everything about child passenger safety. What matters most is your commitment to our mission, willingness to participate, and desire to help Care Seats of Michigan build a stronger, more sustainable future for the families we serve.
Thank you for considering sharing your time and talents with us. We are grateful for your interest and for the possibility of having you become part of the Care Seats of Michigan family.
