Board of Directors

​The Board of Directors is responsible for managing the operation of the chapter and providing professional development opportunities to chapter members. Please feel free to contact any board member or email us on the board if you are interested in volunteering for the Board or have any questions.  

The 2023 Board of Directors is composed of four Chapter Officers and eight Directors At Large. A corp of volunteers also helps the Board accomplish their goals and operate the chapter.
