Volunteer: Board MemberDear Potential Board Member,
We warmly invite you to join the Amarillo Depot, an organization dedicated to preserving our city's rich history and shaping a vibrant future. Here's a concise overview of who we are, our vision, expectations, and essential details about board participation:
Our History: The Amarillo Depot's roots are embedded in the captivating history of the AT&SF Railway and its impact on Amarillo, the Panhandle, and surrounding areas. Our core mission is To create a museum of the first class to collect and preserve materials relating to the history of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and its influence on the economic and societal history of the City of Amarillo, the Panhandle, and surrounding areas.
Our Vision: The Santa Fe Historical Museum is dedicated to preserve and share the history and impact of the Santa Fe railroad to Amarillo and surrounding Panhandle areas. Our vision extends beyond preservation; we aim to create a captivating, interactive attraction where families and friends of all generations can unite to celebrate our shared history. By joining our board, you will play a pivotal role in shaping this vision and steering the course of our community's future.
Expectations: Time Commitment: Active participation is vital for board members, which includes attending our monthly board meetings. These meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the Santa Fe Building on Polk, from 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM. Board packets are delivered by email the Friday prior to meetings. Members are expected to have read packet in full, attend meetings regularly to maintain the flow of our work, with a maximum allowance of three missed meetings per year. Additional time commitment varies depending on committee(s) and additional jobs. Committees: We encourage board members to actively participate in at least one committee. Your commitment to these committees will drive the progress of the Amarillo Depot and contribute significantly to our shared success. Financial Support: While no specific financial contribution is required, we encourage board members to make at least an annual donation that holds personal significance. Foundations look at the percentage of board members who are donors when evaluating grant applications. It is more about how many than how much.
Positive Ambassadorship: In addition to these expectations, we invite board members to serve as ambassadors for our organization. Your enthusiasm, support, and advocacy within the community are vital in furthering our mission. We believe that your expertise, passion, and commitment can substantially impact our organization's success. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work together to preserve Amarillo's history and co-create an exciting future.
