Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of the Chatham County Partnership for Children is made up of a group of community members who are committed to assuring that children are healthy, safe, and developmentally prepared to succeed in school.
Smart Start legislation mandates that all key community leaders "come to the table." Board members represent county government, human service agencies, religious and business communities, and families. With the addition of the Safe Start program in 2000, the "table" has been expanded to include representatives from law enforcement and the legal system.
