The purpose of Team DC is to encourage and support involvement in team and individual sports within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) and broader community in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area.

The Board shall consist of a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 15 Directors.  The Board values diversity and, in particular, gender equity in filling vacant positions.  Terms are for a two-year period and elections are held at the annual meeting, but open positions can be filled at any time.  Those interested in applying for a position on the Board of Directors should submit a current resume to any Board member.

There are currently no fundraising requirements for Board members.  Similarly, Directors do not have to belong to any organized sport or cultural club although the Board does seek strong ties to local sport and cultural organizations.  The Board is covered by Board & Officers insurance.

There are approximately 8 regular meetings of the Board each year in addition to the Annual Meeting (usually in January) where elections and an extended planning session are held.  Meetings days rotate on a regular basis to ensure that no team practice is overly burdened.
