Our Board of Directors follows the Carver Policy Governance and Aligned Influence organizational model. The board has four main responsibilities in advancing our mission: overseeing the CEO, setting organizational policy, serving as a link to our stakeholders, and assisting with fundraising. One hundred percent of our Board of Directors contributes financially each year.
We typically have vacancies on our board at the beginning of each year as members serve for a limited term. If you’re interested in joining the board, we’d love to hear from you. We strive to create and maintain a board that mirrors the community we serve. Please contact sarah@scccboard.org.
