Meet the community leaders guiding Service in Unity.
Today, we welcome our three new board members! We are confident that their expertise and commitment to Service in Unity’s mission and success will help us continue to grow and make a meaningful impact on our community.
Earlier this year, our board participated in development training with the Appalachian Regional Commission Program. Out of that experience, we crafted a new vision for SIU governance:
“A Networked Strategic Board, with a Balance of Lived and Professional Experience.”
Service in Unity’s board is committed to building trust and transparency for our mission. This new approach helped recruit our new members and ensures our leadership reflects both the wisdom of lived experience and the professional expertise needed to keep us growing.

A huge thank you to the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Ready Program for guiding Service in Unity through board development training this summer! With their support, we put new skills into action, achieving tangible results:

- We adopted a board vision: “A Networked Strategic Board, with a Balance of Lived and Professional Experience.”
- Installed a full recruitment system that yielded three new board members with targeted skill sets.
- Created new committees, with three new committee members ready to start in the new year.
- Updated our bylaws to better reflect our organization’s mission and growth.

We’re grateful for ARC’s partnership and proud to show how training leads to real, lasting change.
