Board of Directors
As a not-for-profit, CAFA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. It is a governance board, not operational. The board's basic responsibilities include: setting policy, supporting the Executive Director, guiding long-range planning and development, monitoring finances, working cooperatively with other board members, and acting as ambassadors for the organization.
The board also follows a Code of Ethics and Conflict of Interest Policy. Both are critical to its overall effectiveness. All Board Members must sign off on these policies annually.
