Our Board of Directors

Like all Community Action Agencies, Opportunity Council is led by a tripartite volunteer board of diverse community leaders.  To ensure we never lose sight of our mission, one-third of board members are individuals with low incomes, one-third are public officials, and one-third are members of the private sector.
