Community leaders with long-standing JA ties are members of our Boards of Directors and Trustees. Directors set and monitor the strategic direction of the organization, secure necessary resources to achieve the mission, provide policy governance, evaluate and self-govern, and hire and evaluate the chief staff officer. Trustees serve in an advisory capacity to the Directors on these matters.
