Board Seat Opening: Attorney

Position Type: Volunteer Board Director

Term Length: In accordance with NDAP Bylaws

Meeting Frequency: Quarterly Board Meetings + Committee Participation

Role Overview

NDAP is seeking a licensed attorney to join its Board of Directors to provide strategic oversight, governance guidance, and compliance perspective as the organization continues to expand nationally.

This is a governance role — not legal representation — and operates within board-level advisory responsibilities.

Ideal Background

• Experience in nonprofit law, healthcare law, compliance, or governance

• Familiarity with 501(c)(3) regulations

• Understanding of healthcare privacy (HIPAA) or nonprofit ethics (preferred)

• Strategic mindset and commitment to public health equity

Board Responsibilities

• Uphold fiduciary duties (care, loyalty, obedience)

• Provide governance oversight

• Support risk management and compliance awareness

• Participate in strategic planning

• Serve as an ambassador for NDAP’s mission

Why This Role Matters

As NDAP grows, strong governance ensures:

✔ Legal and ethical integrity

✔ Sustainable expansion

✔ Responsible patient advocacy

✔ Board-level accountability

This role strengthens the foundation that protects both patients and the organization.

This is a volunteer governance position and does not establish an attorney-client relationship with NDAP or its patients. Legal services, if needed, are engaged separately and independently.
