Board Service

Smart Start Partnership for Children is governed by an active Board of Directors representing parents, health care, public agencies, private businesses, communities of faith, child care centers, educational institutions, civic organizations and concerned citizens. Board Members are volunteers who contribute their expertise, professional resources and time to building a stronger future for Henderson County.

Citizens-at-large, as well as current and former board members, are welcome to serve on Smart Start Partnership for Children's board of directors or committees and task forces. Participation on a committee is a great way help shape the decisions and plans developed to meet the specific needs of our county’s youngest residents.
