The NEICAC Board acts as trustee of the Corporation’s assets and ensures that the organization is well managed and remains fiscally sound. The tripartite board, comprised of one representative from the private, public, and low-income populations in each of our seven counties exercises oversight of the organization’s operations and maintains the legal and ethical accountability of its staff and volunteers. The main responsibilities of a nonprofit board are often summarized in the “three Ds”:

DUTY OF CARE: Board members are expected to actively participate in organizational planning and decision-making and to make sound and informed judgments.

DUTY OF LOYALTY: When acting on behalf of the organization, board members must put the interests of the nonprofit before any personal or professional concerns and avoid potential conflicts of interest.
