UNA Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is a phenomenal group of professionals in our community. We incorporate comprehensive metrics of skills, attributes, organizational size, and region into our board recruitment. Each year, all board members must sign and adhere to our Conflict of Interest disclosures and those having signature authority on our bank accounts must successfully pass a background check.

We'd like to thank all current and past UNA Board Members. They've guided the organization and provided sound advice. 

If you'd like to apply to become a board member, please email our Chief Executive Officer, Jill Bennett, and you'll be provided with an application form.
