Interested in Board or Advisory Service?
The Board of Directors reviews major financial decisions, organizational policies, partnerships, program priorities, and long-term planning. Board members are expected to act in the best interests of the organization and the communities Red Bird serves.
Red Bird’s current board includes two members of the same family. The organization documents conflicts of interest and intends to expand the board with additional independent community members as the organization grows.
