Governing Board

We are committed to a governing board that is 100% CHW-led. This aligns with the National Association of Community Heath Workers  guidance, who deem CHW network organizations (including associations and coalitions)  as organizations led by or co-led by Community Health Workers (includes promotoras, CHRs, and other titles/identities within our profession) whose mission and activities focus on CHW membership, networking, policy, advocacy, and workforce development.​ Our governing board brings a wealth of knowledge and commitment to our mission of unifying, equipping, and empowering CHWs to serve Mecklenburg County communities.
