Our Board of Directors plays a key role in providing strategic guidance, supporting strong governance, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our programs. The commitment includes a two-year term, with approximately six scheduled meetings per year. We are mindful of our board members' time and strive to keep commitments manageable, collaborative, and impactful. We welcome individuals who are engaged in the community, value mentorship, and are excited to contribute their perspective, experience, and leadership.
