Moving Forward

Revitalizing Leadership: Join the Transformation!

Currently comprising 18 dedicated members, our Board is on a mission to redefine representation and rejuvenate our approach. Our vision is clear: a tripartite board where government, civic, and low-income individuals stand shoulder to shoulder, passionately advocating for our region.

​

Challenges Sparking Change:

Our existing county-based structure, though well-intentioned, has proven unwieldy with a whopping 42-member board. Maintaining active participation for each county has become a puzzle we're determined to solve. Enter our exciting exploration: shifting to a regional approach! This change aims to streamline representation, ensuring every area has a voice from each sector.

​

Striving for Impactful Leadership:

We're not just changing our structure; we're redefining the board's demographic makeup. Our goal is to mirror the diversity of the population we serve. This means a deliberate push for inclusivity and representation from all walks of life.

​

What's in it for You:

Joining our board means being part of a dynamic shift towards a more effective and representative leadership. We're not just looking for members; we're seeking partners committed to shaping the future of our community. Your voice matters, your perspective is crucial, and together, we're crafting a board that mirrors the vibrant tapestry of the people we serve.

​

Be the Change: Get Involved!

Ready to be part of a board that's not just adapting but evolving? We're seeking individuals who bring passion, commitment, and a fresh perspective to the table. Come, be the catalyst for positive change with us!
