Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of the EBF3 HADDS Foundation! We are currently recruiting new board members to fill upcoming vacancies.
The EBF3 HADDS Foundation is a volunteer-run organization with the mission of enhancing the lives of individuals with HADDS through research, education, support and advocacy. Members of the EBF3 HADDS Foundation Board set the strategic direction for the Foundation and create and deliver initiatives relating to fundraising, providing educational and financial resources to the HADDS Community, and increasing global awareness of EBF3 HADDS.
A significant focus for the Board is organizing the EBF3 HADDS International Conference which takes place every two years. Board members also manage events like the month-long HADDS Run fundraising initiative and HADDS Valentines mailers. Additional tasks for the Foundation include overseeing financials, reviewing and awarding grants to the community, monitoring and replying to emails and social media communications, promoting fundraising and applying for grants, updating the HADDS website, and maintaining the HADDS online shop.
Participation with the EBF3 HADDS Board of Directors offers a meaningful and impactful volunteer experience. Board members are able to grow and gain professional skills while directly contributing and influencing the support given to the global HADDS community. Through volunteering, Board members are also able to build deeper, more meaningful connections with other families and individuals involved in the HADDS community.

Board Members attend monthly one-and-a-half hour meetings as well as dedicate volunteer time related to delivering on initiatives set out in the Board’s annual plan. Board members can expect to spend a minimum of 40-50 hours annually.
