Our Board of Directors meets regularly to ensure Lifehouse responds to the needs of our clients and provides them with the highest quality services and support. The board is composed of individuals with a broad range of education and business experience. About one third of our directors have a family member with a developmental disability. Board members are elected for three-year terms, although their commitment level is so high, most serve multiple terms.
