JOIN OUR BOARD. The Partnership is actively recruiting two volunteers to collaborate with our Executive Board. We are pursuing advocates or professionals with elder adult expertise to serve on our Communications Chair Committee (1 seat) and our Education Committee Co-Chair (1 seat). Diversity and inclusion are vital to our Partnership's mission to protect vulnerable adults. We are actively seeking individuals who can serve as a voice for minority and under-served populations as well as give a professional local perspective for these communities. Please email ncpaaa@gmail.com if you are interested and we will connect with you.
