Board of Trustees

LeaderShape® is fortunate to have a group of wonderful people who provide direction, oversight, and vision for the organization as a Board of Trustees. These individuals volunteer their time, talents, and experience to help reach our vision. They meet at least twice a year having the responsibilities of hiring the President and raising resources to further the mission. We are grateful for their service.
