Board Of Directors
The Role of the Board of Directors for the RCP
As part of developing an organization with shared governance, the bylaws of the RCP created a seven (7) member Board of Directors. The Board is comprised of RCP members and oversees all RCP activities and finances. A Board member serves a two (2) year term and elects officers for the organization within the Board. The Board meets monthly to conduct RCP business. If interested in becoming a board member or attending meetings, check out the News and Events page for meeting times and locations.
