Student Expectations
Students will be expected to attend all board meetings during their fellowship as well as the meetings of the committee on which they serve. As some time conflicts will be inevitable, a defined process for addressing absences will be necessary. The Stanford program’s guideline for dealing with scheduling conflicts is as follows:
· Give advance notice of an absence to the board and the Board Fellows program leadership
· Try to attend by phone
· Follow up with your board mentor to learn what was missed
· Work with professors to address class conflicts
According to Net Impact’s survey of Board Fellows programs, students spend an average of 2 to 4 hours per week on program-related work. Projects typically take 60 to 70 hours of work, on average. Deliverables for the fellows’ strategic project will be determined in concert with the participating organization, but it is anticipated that they will include a short written report and PowerPoint presentation. Special care will be taken to ensure that the scope of these projects is focused and manageable, and that the organizations’ expectations are properly managed. Successful projects will be featured at the following year’s kick-off event.

The program is currently an extracurricular offering.
General Program Monitoring
Participating students will be required to check in with the program directors bi-weekly by email, and meet with them monthly. In addition, program directors will be responsible for reaching out to the students’ board mentors every other month by telephone or email. Directors will ensure that project status is on-track, and that both participating students and their board mentors are on the same page with respect to the projects and the students’ board participation in general.
