Volunteer Board Position: Director of Marketing (Hands-On Leadership)

Time Commitment

Approximately 4–8 hours per month as an active volunteer Board Member. While this is a strategic leadership role, we are seeking someone who enjoys contributing hands-on to key marketing initiatives.

Help Shape the Voice of a National Movement

The National Dental Advocacy Program (NDAP) is experiencing more than 200% organizational growth as we rapidly expand our programs, partnerships, and national impact—and we're just getting started. As our reach continues to grow, we're seeking a strategic marketing leader who is passionate about purpose-driven work and excited to help shape the future of a fast-growing nonprofit.

This is not a passive advisory position. We're looking for a hands-on volunteer board leader who enjoys creating, writing, organizing, and bringing ideas to life. You'll play a key role in defining NDAP's brand, strengthening our messaging, and ensuring our mission resonates with patients, donors, corporate partners, grant funders, volunteers, and the communities we serve.

What You'll Do

• Lead Brand Strategy: Develop and maintain NDAP's brand voice, messaging framework, style guide, and visual identity to ensure consistency across all communications.

• Craft Compelling Narratives: Translate complex healthcare and advocacy initiatives into compelling stories for grant proposals, donor presentations, fundraising campaigns, and public outreach.

• Strengthen Donor & Partner Recognition: Design and manage sponsorship recognition standards, donor acknowledgment materials, and partner branding integration across marketing collateral.

• Drive Hands-On Marketing Execution: Take an active role in developing messaging for key initiatives, including NDAP's Senior Outreach Project and other high-impact campaigns. This is a working leadership position where you'll help navigate the creations—not simply oversee—content.

• Manage Google Ad Grants Volunteer: Oversee NDAP's Google Ad Grants volunteer to help maximize awareness, increase website traffic, and support donor, volunteer, and partner engagement.

• Oversee the Marketing Committee: Provide direction to committee lead, mentorship, and structure for marketing volunteers by approving assigned projects, setting priorities, and fostering collaboration.

We're Looking For Someone Who

• Experience in marketing, branding, communications, public relations, or a related field.

• A strategic thinker who also enjoys executing and bringing ideas to life.

• Strong writing and storytelling skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts into compelling messages.

• Experience with nonprofit marketing, fundraising communications, or mission-driven organizations is preferred but not required.

• A collaborative leader who is organized, proactive, and passionate about making a meaningful impact.

Why Join NDAP?

As a volunteer member of NDAP's Board of Directors, you'll help shape the voice of one of the nation's fastest-growing dental advocacy organizations. Your leadership will directly influence how our mission is communicated, helping us expand our reach, strengthen community partnerships, attract supporters, and improve access to oral healthcare through advocacy, education, and patient empowerment.

Time Commitment: Approximately 4–8 hours per month, including occasional board meetings and hands-on marketing collaboration.

If you're passionate about using marketing to drive meaningful change, we'd love to have you join our leadership team.

Role Overview

NDAP is seeking a licensed attorney to join its Board of Directors to provide strategic oversight, governance guidance, and compliance perspective as the organization continues to expand nationally.

This is a governance role — not legal representation — and operates within board-level advisory responsibilities.

Ideal Background

• Experience in nonprofit law, healthcare law, compliance, or governance
• Familiarity with 501(c)(3) regulations
• Understanding of healthcare privacy (HIPAA) or nonprofit ethics (preferred)
• Strategic mindset and commitment to public health equity

Board Responsibilities

• Uphold fiduciary duties (care, loyalty, obedience)
• Provide governance oversight
• Support risk management and compliance awareness
• Participate in strategic planning
• Serve as an ambassador for NDAP’s mission

Why This Role Matters

As NDAP grows, strong governance ensures:

✔ Legal and ethical integrity
✔ Sustainable expansion
✔ Responsible patient advocacy
✔ Board-level accountability

This role strengthens the foundation that protects both patients and the organization.

This is a volunteer governance position and does not establish an attorney-client relationship with NDAP or its patients. Legal services, if needed, are engaged separately and independently.

Schedule: Flexible | Case-Based
Location: Remote (U.S.)
Reports To: Lead Advocate

Role Overview

NDAP is seeking mission-driven Patient Advocates with a dental background to provide direct advocacy support for patients navigating complex treatment, insurance, and care coordination challenges.

This role is ideal for individuals with clinical or administrative dental experience who want to transition into advocacy-based work that supports seniors, medically complex individuals, and underserved populations.

Who Should Apply

We welcome professionals with:

• Dental assisting background
• Registered Dental Hygienist experience
• Dental office management experience
• Treatment coordination or insurance billing experience
• Dental administrative leadership
• Medical-dental cross-coding familiarity (preferred but not required)

Board Certified Patient Advocates (BCPA) are preferred but not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist patients with understanding treatment plans
• Support insurance navigation and documentation coordination
• Communicate professionally with dental offices and providers
• Draft advocacy correspondence when appropriate
• Maintain HIPAA-compliant documentation standards
• Represent NDAP’s ethical and brand standards

Advocates are assigned patients who have already enrolled in NDAP services.

Compensation Structure

Compensation for contract-based Patient Advocates is structured as a case-based service fee consistent with nonprofit operational standards. Rates are established by the organization and designed to reflect fair market value for services rendered.

NDAP does not provide compensation based on referral generation or revenue sharing. All compensation arrangements are reviewed to ensure compliance with nonprofit governance standards and applicable regulations.

Volunteer-to-contract opportunities may be available for individuals seeking experience before transitioning into paid case work.

Why This Role Matters

You are not “working a case.”
You are helping someone regain clarity, dignity, and access to care.

This role bridges the gap between patients and providers.
