About Our Board of Directors & Advisory Board

Our Board is a “Working Board”

Our board of directors are young professionals and former program participants who are dedicated to assisting the Executive Director with program evaluation and implementation.

Our Organization Operates Using System-Wide Governance

We have multiple Executives leading the organization to balance power as well as to provide support at every level. Our Board Chair, Vice Chair, Executive Director, President and Treasurer share equal power and control over the organization. The President is also the Chief Executive Officer who examines the retention and recruitment of program attendees and volunteers. The Executive Director is also the Chief Financial Officer she oversees fundraising, grant writing, and budget development for all programs & projects.

Our members have a financial commitment commiserate with their income. But most importantly they each have a set number of volunteer hours each year that they dedicate towards a program of their choosing! An individual must be under the age of 40 to be part of our Board of Directors.

Our community advisory board has an annual “give or get” which is also commiserate with their income however there is no age limit for those who would like to join our Community Advisory Board. Advisory Board members can be as young as 5 years old as the youth we serve are invited to participate in our advisory board and serve on committees. Each committee corresponds to a program housed here at Athena’s Warehouse Inc. like our Prom Project or our Celebrate Success programs. Advisory Board members don’t need to attend quarterly board meetings but are encouraged to do so.
