Board of Directors
Board of Directors 2011
Members of the Friends of Tanzania Board are all volunteers. About half are Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, others are Tanzanians, and others lived and/or worked in Tanzania. The Board holds an annual planning retreat on a Saturday at the end of January, and usually has 7 other Board Meetings a year. We meet for 90 minutes, in Washington DC, with the option of phone conference call. Each member serves on at least one of our committees, and we all appreciate this opportunity to work together to foster connections between the US and Tanzania, and to support community development in Tanzania.
At the December 2010 Board meeting we thanked the retiring Board members, and at our planning retreat in January we welcomed new Board members and elected Board Officers. This year we have 10 Board members, and our bylaws allow for up to four more — are you interested? 2011 will be exciting, and if you would like to help FOT in any way we would be glad to have you. Please contact us through info@FOTanzania.org to offer your assistance.
Most of our Board members come from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Other home cities are listed below.
