Board

Exceptional boards, like the board of BJE/RI, add significant value to their organizations, making discernible differences in their advance on mission. Governance is not dry, obligatory compliance, but a creative and collaborative process that supports agency staff, engages board members, and furthers the cause we all serve.

Under the leadership of Sharon Gaines, President, the Board of the Bureau is charged with overseeing and evaluating agency operations and programs, as well as charting the course of the agency's mission.
