Our Board of Directors
Unlike many other non-profits, our board is a working board. Board members participate in the workings of the facility and the doings of the clients. We raise funds, put on events and parties, train new staff, volunteer, and even help clean the house on Spring Cleaning day! We also honor the contributions of past board members, for without their incredible donations of time, energy and labor, Build House would not exist. Our board also has an outstanding record for donor participation.
