Boards
UCAN relies on a number of boards and auxiliary groups to provide guidance and help to increase public awareness and support our social service and therapeutic programs.
The Board of Directors oversees the organization's operations and services and is financially responsible for and acts as stewards of UCAN. The Board members' roles are multifaceted and include acting as policy makers, strategists, ambassadors, and fundraisers. The Board must regularly evaluate the organization and be invested in the mission of UCAN.
