Board of Directors

The HCAP Board of Directors is the governing body of the organization, responsible for oversight of all agency affairs. HCAPʻ’s Board of Directors is tripartite: one-third of the members represent the Public sector, one-third of the members represent the Private sector, and one-third of the members represent the Resident sector.

This unique Board structure allows all voices in the community to be represented, in order to help HCAP deliver the best programs and services possible to the communities we serve.
