MN Adoption Resource Network (MARN) is looking for Board Members

Hi friends,

MN Adoption Resource Network (MARN), www.mnadopt.org, is a non-profit organization founded in 1980 that "creates and supports lifelong nurturing families for children needing permanency and advocates for the interests of adoptees.

MARN is a non-profit organization committed to permanence for children. While not a child-placement agency, MARN contributes by:

• Helping adoption agencies recruit and train prospective families
  Providing continuing education, advocacy and support to people whose lives are influenced by issues of adoption
• Heightening the visibility of children in the foster care system who are in need of permanent families"

I am emailing you today because Marcia Ballinger, a friend and colleague here at KeyStone Search, has just joined the MARN board of directors (http://www.mnadopt.org/marnBackground.htm) and she is leading the effort, on a pro bono basis, to recruit five new board members.

Marcia also serves on the boards of the American Red Cross of the Twin Cities Area, Capella University, and the Human Resources Executive Forum.

As you review your network, individuals with a passion for MARN's mission and any of these specific areas of expertise would be ideal candidates for board consideration:
Development/Fundraising
Legal
HR
General business management

Could you please let me know if you, or anyone else in your network, would be interested in talking further with Marcia about this board opportunity?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

As always, let me know if there's ever anything I can do for you.
Sincerely yours,
Lars

PS Please save the evening of August 13 from 5 to 8 p.m. on your calendar for an open house patio party at KeyStone Search (free drinks, appetizers, music, and good company) to celebrate our six year anniversary. More details to follow in a formal e-invitation later this week. Thanks again for your help!
