Board of Directors and
Advisory Council

JourneyPartners enjoys the volunteer guidance of a Board of Directors as well as an Advisory Council. While members of the Board of Directors have decision-making authority for the organization, the wisdom and leadership of a diverse Advisory Council allow the organization to expand and enhance its ministry with the assistance of a professional, committed group of individuals representing a variety of skills and interests.
