The Board of Directors of Sierra Nevada Children’s Services (SNCS) is responsible for establishing key operating policies, adoption of the annual budget and conducting the annual performance review of the Executive Director. In addition, the board is responsible for strategic planning and monitoring progress toward goals, participating in the annual review of programs, recruitment of additional Board Members and community promotion of the organization. Board Member terms are two years, with the option to run for an additional term, for a possible total of four years. Individuals who join the Board do so as volunteers and do not receive compensation for their service.

SNCS Board Members work as a team and participate fully in the planning, promotion and financial support of all organization events. They also participate on at least one standing committee. They are passionate about the SNCS mission and come from many diverse backgrounds, including public education, law enforcement, private business, financial planning, children’s health and child care, to name a few. In addition to having a high standard of ethical behavior, Board Members are skilled at working together in creative ways to consider various viewpoints and personal expertise, in order to make positive and sometimes complex decisions that will benefit the children and families in the community that SNCS was created to support.

SNCS Board Members, Officers, Employees and Volunteers adhere to a comprehensive Conflict of Interest Policy to ensure the integrity and transparency of all work-related decisions and actions.  Conflict of Interest Policy
