The Board of Directors works in partnership with the Executive Director to set the food bank’s direction. The food bank’s governance responsibilities fall into four major areas:

• 
  VISION—The board focuses the work of the Exec. Director and volunteers through a strategic planning process.
• 
  STRUCTURE—The board governs the food bank through prudent planning and oversight, and diligent, innovative policy making.
• 
  ACCOUNTABILITY—The board infuses all food bank programs and crucial policies with specific goals and processes for evaluating, reporting, and recommending improvements.
• 
  ADVOCACY—The board champions the food bank’s needs in the local community.

The Executive Director is a non-voting member of the BOD. The Exec. Director supervises the everyday operations. In addition, the Exec. Director acts as the conduit between the food bank and the community at large.
