CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our board members care deeply about the services that Book'em provides to our community and donate their time, talents and treasures. When people join our board, we try to be clear about our needs and their responsibilities. Our board members cannot always fulfill all the expectations, but it is a good start to having a more engaged and knowledgeable governing body. I am very proud of our leadership and board members. Book'em is fortunate to have them as volunteers who are willing to share their expertise and time for the sake of our economically disadvantaged youth. |
