About Us

Our board�s volunteer members oversee situations and challenges faced by the blood center with a fresh eye and help navigate the course followed by Community Blood Services and its employees. Board members take seriously their responsibilities as they relate to establishing the direction of Community Blood Services so it can fulfill its mission; protecting and furthering its assets; and always being accountable to the public at large for the ethical conduct of the organization. The full board meets quarterly, with subcommittees meeting as warranted.
