More About Our Organization
We are a newer organization - four years old. In the last two years we have turned over most of the original board. We are looking for up to six new board members. Currently eight of our members (everyone but me) live in New Castle County and we are all women. We are looking to diversify our board geographically, gender, ethnicity, etc.
