Board of Directors

The Board of Directors provides leadership, strategic direction, and governance for the organization. Board members are dedicated volunteers who help ensure that our mission, vision, and values remain at the forefront of all organizational decisions. Through their expertise, guidance, and commitment, the Board oversees long-term planning, financial stewardship, policy development, and organizational sustainability. They generously contribute their time, talents, and passion to support our programs, events, and daily operations.

Whether serving on committees, assisting with special projects and outreach efforts, or providing direct service to our stakeholders, our board plays a vital role in advancing our mission and making a meaningful impact in our College Credit Plus community.
