Board Service

Impact Communities' Board of Directors strives to reflect each community served through this body of dedicated individuals. As volunteers, this group represents a broad range of experience and professions. In addition to holding fiscal oversight for the agency, it is responsible for setting policy and vision for the organization. The Board meets every other month and includes committees for financial oversight, governance, programs, and fundraising.

The Board is supported by a diverse Advisory Council focusing on prevention, treatment, and addiction recovery. This group of experts meets biannually and advises the board while supporting the organization's work. 

If you are interested in joining our Board or our Advisory Council, please contact Sherri Ansley, 972-518-1821 or email sansley@impactcommunities.org.
