Board Mission

We strive to create an open and nonjudgmental environment where board members feel welcome to be themselves and express themselves. We understand that board members have diverse lived experience and are on their own journey of personal discovery. We will support, learn from, and not hinder, their journey. 

We strive for diversity, equity, and inclusion to be reflected in our board, our policies, and all our operations. We will educate ourselves, learn from each other, and support each other during this continuing journey.
