We strive to build a Board of Directors that reflects both the skills needed to support a thriving nonprofit, as well as the diverse identities and perspectives of Greeley’s community. We conduct board recruitment cycles twice a year, in the spring and fall, and each cycle is shaped by the specific needs and gaps in representation at that time.
