Structure
How the pieces fit
Volunteers accountable to the mission and applicable law. Sets strategy with management, approves budgets, evaluates executive performance, and ensures audit and risk practices keep pace with grants and rollout.
Carries out the operating plan: capital projects, partnerships, fundraising execution, staffing, resident communications, incident response culture, and quarterly evidence for stakeholders.
Digital Navigator cohorts, install partners, and community anchors implement the model locally. Escalation paths and supervision keep quality consistent without burning out volunteers or students.
Governance

We are seating a board aligned with nonprofit best practice and Buffalo community representation. When each director accepts service, their name, role, and a short bio will appear here—no placeholder names.
- Governance inquiries (nominations, board packets, conflicts): use the governance inquiry button above.
- Director bios are published here once each person has accepted service and reviewed their public profile.
