About The Board of Directors:  
   
The Board of Directors conducts the business of Opportunities, and is comprised of the following three sectors of representation:
  1. Individuals who are elected public officials, or their representatives.  Elected public officials serve on the Board and in the elected public officials sector only so long as they hold elective office. In addition, representatives of this sector must reside in Lewis County at the time of their election and throughout their term on the Board. 
  2. Individuals representing persons of low income in a given geographical area of Lewis County.  For purposes of equal representation, the County is divided into five geographical areas known as "Target Areas", with a resident representative selected from each area.

  1. Individuals representing the private sector, who represent other significant community interests such as human services, charity, volunteers, education, industry, labor, faith-based organizations, and any significant minority groups.  In addition, individual members of the community who are sympathetic to the mission of Opportunities may also be considered.  All representatives from this sector must be residents of Lewis County.

Members of the Board serve a term of 3 years and may be re-appointed or re-elected to consecutive terms.

   
   
Board Meetings:  
   
Regular meetings of the Board of Directors typically occur on the third Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November, and are open to the public.  To confirm specific meeting dates and times, please call 376-8202, extension 222.
