A pre-requisite for service on the Neighborhood House Charter School (NHCS) Board is a passionate belief in the idea that zip code should not determine destiny – that all children, no matter where they live, deserve to be challenged and supported to achieve their full potential in school and in life. Beyond that, the ideal Board candidate is someone who works well with others, speaks up and asks questions, and thinks strategically. As a growing organization, Neighborhood House will face a number of big decisions in the coming months and years (regarding real estate / facilities and transitioning from a focus on growth to a focus on excellence) and we want Board members who are excited by those challenges. We ask all Board members to see themselves as brand ambassadors, demonstrated by a willingness to show up for our events, invite friends to donate, and generally network on the school’s behalf. In terms of demographics, we are currently seeking candidates of Color as we seek to broaden our Board to more closely reflect the community we serve.

The Bedford VA Research Corporation, Inc. (BRCI) is a stand-alone, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) Massachusetts non-profit corporation established in 2001 under the authority granted by Congress to find alternative funding for educational programs and innovative medical research for veterans. The impact of BRCI is felt by the over 19,000 veterans who receive health care and other support services through the Bedford VA Healthcare System.

BRCI works with non-VA funders and donors to support projects for 71 principal researchers at Bedford with expertise in homelessness, mental health, reintegration, substance abuse and addiction, smoking cessation, suicide prevention, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Alzheimer’s and geriatrics, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Training and support programs offered through the Bedford VA Healthcare System include entrepreneurship, workforce development, financial management skills and reintegration. Each program helps to heal veterans and has a direct and immediate impact on the well-being of those who served, their families, the community, and the caregivers. The more options we are able to provide, the greater the reach.

BRCI serves in an administrative role and receives no financial support from the VA. All funds for operating expenses are derived from overhead charges that are levied on contracts, funds from other non-profits, donations, etc.

Our mission is to provide veterans with the opportunity to participate in educational programs and innovative research that support their health and well-being. We strive to facilitate and advance the education and research mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs with specific focus on the research and educational activities at the VA Bedford Healthcare System. By developing new partnerships and collaborating with foundations, corporations, universities, government agencies, and donors, we provide a clear and straightforward mechanism by which we can work with the VA Bedford Healthcare System to advance education programs and novel research to improve the lives of those who served as well as the general population.

BRCI fulfills its mission of promoting and supporting research and education by providing direct support to Principal Investigators and their staff at the VA Bedford Healthcare System. We provide four essential services: contract/grant administration, human resources management, purchasing, and financial accounting.

We are interested in adding a board member with financial expertise who feels strongly about supporting our mission and improving the lives of veterans and their families.
