Northstar's Board provides strategic guidance.
Northstar’s Board of Directors is a group of community volunteers representing a variety of professional skills and industries. Together, they are responsible for oversight of Northstar’s strategic direction and long-term sustainability. Each is committed to Northstar’s mission and vision to create a community where individuals of all abilities thrive.
Members also serve on one or more Board Committees. They welcome other individuals to serve, as well. Contact Susan Herzick, Director of Development, to inquire about committee membership.
