The REACH Foundation is governed by a 17-member Board that ensures the Foundation fufills its mission and purpose, and uses its resources to advance the health of underserved people.
The REACH Foundation is governed by a 17-member Board of Directors that has primary responsibility for determining the mission and vision of the organization, setting strategic direction, and ensuring the Foundation meets its legal and financial responsibilities. The REACH Board is strongly committed to selecting directors who reflect the socioeconomic, racial, ethnic and geographic diversity of our service area.
Nominees to the REACH Board can be identified in several ways. At the time of the Foundation’s formation, a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was established for the purpose of ensuring broad community participation on the REACH Foundation’s Board. The CAC works to identify candidates with community and board experience, and an understanding of and commitment to community health issues. In addition, Board members are encouraged to seek out individuals with diverse professional and personal backgrounds. The Foundation also puts out a public call for applicants.
The next application deadline is December 31, 2012, for consideration for 2013. Interested individuals must complete a Statement of Interest Forum (link follows). Applicants are encouraged to review the Directors Qualification Requirements prior to completing the form. Individuals needing additional information may contact Brenda Sharpe, President and Chief Executive Officer, (913) 432-4196.
