In 1999, as a result of the successful funding of our web project, we hired a web manager who is provided with a monthly stipend. The by-laws of the organization allow for a board of directors of up to 16 people. The board of directors is currently composed of 11 individuals. We are always seeking additional board members and have a high priority to invite more women and people of color to join the board. The board, which meets monthly, operates according to Robert's Rules of Order.
All meetings are open to the public.
The board sets policy and provides strategic direction for the organization. The board fulfills its responsibilities in part through its committee work. Committee membership is not limited to directors. Out in the Mountains Out in the Mountains remains the most important communication tool for the LGBT community in Vermont. In 1986 Out in the Mountains began as a monthly newsletter and has evolved into a primary tool of news and reference for the LGBT community.
