At New Dawn, the Board of Directors serves as both compass and caretaker — guiding the organization with vision, integrity, and deep connection to the community it serves.
These volunteer leaders do not manage day-to-day operations; instead, they set the course, hire and support the CEO, and ensure New Dawn’s work remains rooted in purpose, possibility, and sustainability.
