Board of Directors
The Rebuilding Alliance board of directors assures the integrity and the financial stability of the Rebuilding Alliance. The board is in the process of transitioning to an all-local board, per a recently passed resolution stating, “All members of the Rebuilding Alliance Board will be local to the Rebuilding Alliance, with the criteria that board members agree to meet monthly, in person, at the Rebuilding Alliance office. To assure RA’s access to good advice from around the world, RA will plan quarterly telecon meetings with a vibrant advisory board, and invite them to join us for all or a portion of annual board retreats.
We welcome your interest in joining the Rebuilding Alliance Board or advisory board, please email a letter and resume to Contact@rebuildingalliance.org
