Our Leadership
The Partnership is governed by a Board of Directors elected annually from among the membership. The day to day management of the organization is overseen by the Executive Director and any support staff deemed necessary to conduct the business of the Partnership.
The Board meets monthly and committees of the Board, which are open to general members, meet regularly to further the Partnership’s goals and agenda.
