Board of Directors We must depend upon the efforts of dedicated Christian individuals who are willing to "volunteer" their time and talents in an administrative and advisory capacity regarding the work of NACCH.     The current Board of Directors would like to extend our appreciation to all previous BOD members, staff, volunteers, and supporters. Without their faithful, service, support and prayers we would not have been a successful children's home for the past 36 years.     Board Of Directors Responsibilities   Consult with the Alabama Department of Human Resources (ADHR) when changing the purpose, goals or function of the basic program, or extending services into additional program or geographic areas. Notify ADHR when there is a change of the executive and/or chief officer of the board. Provide financial information to ADHR and supporting organizations and individuals.    Articulate the purpose, goal, and function of the child care facility and establish written job descriptions and qualifications.    Establish written by-laws governing the organization, duties and operation of the board.   Ensure the establishment of written operating policies including, but not limited to: organizational structure, administration, personnel practices, intake, discharge, program, and behavior management practices.   Distribute to its members copies of the prescribed regulations for child care facility.   Employ a qualified executive, and delegate to him/her the responsibility for administration of the child care facility.   Be responsible for providing operating and capital funds.   Financial policies and practices shall be in accord with sound budgeting, disbursement, and audit procedures.   Provide evidence that sufficient funds are available to equal twenty-five percent (25%) of the projected operating budget for the first year of operation and annually thereafter.   Approve the annual budget and revisions, if any, to the annual budget, in advance of the applicable fiscal period.   Provide for proper bonding of board officers and child care facility employees who handle operating or capital funds of the child care facility.   Provide for an opinion audit on an annual basis by a certified public accountant not on the staff of the child care facility nor a member of the board.   Provide a copy of the audit to ADHR which the chief officer of the board certifies has been presented to the board as a whole.
