Engaged leaders, with commitment to our mission
Our board is comprised of a diverse array of individuals with backgrounds in business, law, medicine, and nonprofit leadership, and includes survivors of gender violence.
Each board member is highly engaged in Sanctuary’s strategy and operations: board members sit on at least two committees, attend regular meetings and make substantial fundraising commitments.
