Charlie Titus, Higher Ground Board Chair

“A good deal of Higher Ground’s success can and should be attributed to its highly engaged board. We have founding board members that have actively stayed the course for the ten years. Our board members are fully engaged in all aspects of the operation, including program review and planning, strategy development, financial management and financial support by 100% of our members, and unwavering support of the Executive Director and their team. The members are fully committed to the vision and mission of the organization and model collaborative effort and collective impact at the board level. Success starts at the highest level.”​
