Board Of Directors

The Board of Directors is the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic’s policy-making body. Directors serve a three year term with the option for re-election of one additional term.

All Directors are considered VIM Ambassadors and spokespeople for the organization and its programs. As advocates, they are capable of effectively communicating the VIM “story” within and beyond the immediate community. Essential duties of board members include planning and policy initiatives, organizational development, philanthropic contributions, volunteer support and fiduciary responsibility.

Thank you to those who donate their time and expertise to make our organization better through serving on the Board of Directors.
