Our Board of Directors

When identifying potential Board members, we seek those with a connection to the addiction field and a deep passion for our mission and vision. Our Board of Directors is made up of persons with addiction, loved ones, former members and employees and current partners. The end result is a Board that is extremely engaged and invested in our mission.
