Meet HCBC’s Board of Trustees
It has been a while since we’ve shared information about the Board as a whole—especially regarding those members who have served for many years or even decades.
You may be asking yourself, “What does a Board of Trustees do?”
One of a board of trustees’ responsibilities is to protect the organization’s assets and funds. Members of a board must place the organization’s interests above their own when making decisions for that organization. Board members must avoid conflicts of interest or anything that could suggest self-dealing. Some of the decisions made by trustees concern the choice and oversight of the organization’s manager. While staff and management handle the day-to-day functions, the board of trustees focuses on broader decisions such as the organization’s overall mission and direction.
