At Arlington Thrive, we believe that a strong, dedicated Board of Directors is essential to achieving our mission of bringing stability to families and individuals in Arlington. These volunteers give generously of their time, networks, and expertise to support our work.
We are delighted to announce the addition of several new members, the reappointment of existing members, and the election of our officers. These individuals bring a wealth of experience, passion, and commitment to our organization, and we are excited to see the impact they will make.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated group joining and continuing with our Board of Directors. Each board member brings unique skills and perspectives that will strengthen our ability to respond to the needs of our community. Together, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every individual and family in our community thrives.” — Melanie Anderson, Executive Director of Arlington Thrive.
Serving on the board of a nonprofit organization like Arlington Thrive is a powerful way to contribute to the community. Board members play a crucial role in shaping the direction of the organization, ensuring it stays true to its mission, and providing the oversight needed for sustainable growth and impact. Their work behind the scenes enables nonprofits to operate efficiently and transparently, building trust with donors, beneficiaries, and the wider community. Our new board members join us at a pivotal moment as we expand our programs and deepen our impact in Arlington. We look forward to their contributions and leadership as we navigate the opportunities ahead.
