Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
Our Board Members
The governing board of Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing consists of nine to eleven members. At least fifty-one percent of the board must be Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The primary duties of the board are to supervise the Executive Director, develop policies for the agency, oversee the agency’s finances and to raise funds. Between meetings, members are expected to be on committees and to actively raise funds. The average commitment for our board members is about four hours per month.
