Board of Directors

The Volunteer Healthcare Clinic has a professionally diverse Board of Directors who are deeply passionate about our mission and collectively work to guide our organization through the following activities:  setting policy and strategic direction, approving the annual budget and all major financial decisions, nominating and approving new board members, and ensuring programs and activities align with our mission. 

The majority of Board members also volunteer their time in some capacity during our evening clinics, which makes for a very engaged Board of Directors.  They are each valued advisors and active ambassadors for the Clinic and we are grateful for their leadership.
