Officers & 麻豆传媒AV

FFN trustees are volunteers who serve three-year terms on a rotating basis.

Each member of the board serves on a committee dedicated to programs that fulfill the FFN mission. Committees include members of the Young Leaders Board and staff, and other volunteers.

The Board holds two business meetings annually, in the spring and fall. The spring meeting is held in a location where there is an FFN chapter, which gives the trustees and members an opportunity to get to know each other. The fall meeting is conducted via Zoom.

If you would like to reach a board member, please contact us. Your message will be attended to promptly.
