How is the EEFC organized?

The EEFC is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a volunteer board with 5 to 11 members. The board is responsible for defining and promoting the mission of the organization, and oversees operations, staff, and various committees. Board members chair Program, Finance, Marketing, and Development committees.

How does one get on the Board of Directors?
