Public Ambassadors for Caramoor.
The major responsibilities of the Board are to help set Caramoor’s strategic direction, to uphold its mission, to provide governance and oversight of its operations, and maintain the organization’s financial solvency. Trustees are public ambassadors for Caramoor and are vital to the organization’s ability to advance its mission. This is volunteerism at its finest, and the organization depends on its Trustees for their generous donation of time, energy, resources, and expertise for strength and advancement.
