Board

Every successful non-profit depends on the active leadership, vision, and commitment of its volunteer board members. JDI is no exception!

The JDI Board of Directors is comprised of directors of coalition member programs as well as people from the community. In addition to their governance responsibilities, Board Members serve as ambassadors of JDI and help propel the strength and success of the Coalition.
