Our Board of Directors & Agency Leadership

Peaceful Paths is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who are committed to the sustainability of the agency mission and the overall health of the agency.  Board members represent a diverse segment of the community and work to promote the work of the agency through awareness, fundraising, and advocacy.

​

Board membership openings are reviewed annually in March. Those interested in joining the board should contact Dr. Theresa Beachy at theresab@peacefulpaths.org to apply for membership.
