Our Board

Embracing a Mission of Change: Introducing the Leaders Who Guide Our Vision and Team, Bringing Impact to Life.

NWRIS Board Members

We are led by a volunteer board of directors made up of representatives from our municipal funders and local residents with an interest in the Immigration and Integration of Newcomers. The board meets once a month, usually on the first Monday, to review the last month's activities and to advise and direct on future activities. Our volunteers are general members of the organization and may also sit on the board.
