The Board of Directors serves as the governing body with
overall strategic, legal, and fiduciary responsibility for the
Alliance. Directors are volunteers elected each June to a one-
year term that begins in August.

In order to ensure balance, the By-Laws of the Alliance
specify a method of electing Directors from each CBSA and
the countywide area, as well as from each sector of the
membership, such as provider agencies, consumer
representatives, or a government agency.
