Our Board

CBI Sisterhood Board meetings are open to all members, and we welcome your input and ideas!

​

Each month the Sisterhood Board meets online or in the Gift Shop to plan upcoming events and fundraisers. We welcome any and all who have something to contribute, from time, to ideas, to welcoming smiles! If you are interested in joining, let us know! Our board meetings are open to anyone who would like to volunteer, serve on a committee, or chair a program.  

​

If you are interested in holding an elected position, you can learn more about our governance below (coming soon!). The Sisterhood Board of Directors serve 2 year shifts for a maximum of two terms in a row.
