Governing Board

Our Governing Board provides strategic direction and guidance as we work to fulfill our mission.

Board members bring a diversity of perspectives across our partner network. As stewards, they take responsibility for forming working relationships with others to transform health and well-being across our region. They encourage alignment, inclusiveness, resident leadership, and sharing resources. Each is committed to advancing regional efforts beyond their own organization or sector interests.
