HONORARY COUNCIL
The Friends@CHARG Honorary Council is comprised of individuals who have made a significant contribution to the CHARG Resource Center mission, or have the desire and capability to do so. The staff and boards develop an annual list of candidates to be voted on and approved by both boards. Candidates might be past board members, regular donors, prominent friends, mental health professionals, in addition to other prospects with needed expertise.
The Honorary Council does not hold regular meetings but individual members might be called upon when their area of expertise is needed, whether it be in fundraising, support for special events, advice on governmental or legal issues, program development, or any unforeseen situation that might arise. New members are inducted at the Friends@CHARG Annual Celebration, a fundraising breakfast held in the spring.
