ABCD continued to strike a productive balance between invaluable experience and fresh perspectives in electing new and returning board officers and new directors at our June 26th Board of Directors meeting. The organization also recognized Jean M. Babcock who joined the board 44 years ago and stepped down from the role of Treasurer after 20 years. She remains as an active board member.
As a community action organization, ABCD has a tripartite board structure consisting of members from the local private sector, public sector, and low income community. Consequently, a diverse roster of leaders from each of these groups collaborates on developing responses to local needs for our most under-resourced and at-risk neighbors.
