The Company is seeking dedicated individuals to join its Board of Directors. The Board, as the organization's leadership body, is tasked with supporting and overseeing the evolution of the company's mission and purpose, ensuring rigorous fiduciary oversight and financial management, engaging in strategic and organizational planning, and participating in fundraising activities to ensure financial sustainability. Individual board members are expected to be well-versed in the company's mission, policies, procedures, and programs, and to serve as active advocates and ambassadors.
