Board of Trustees
Norwescap’s Board consists of 15 members representing the five counties of New Jersey where the majority of our services are located. We have a tripartite Board structure, which includes equal representation of members from the communities we serve (current or former program participants); at-large members; and members who are nominated by local officials.
If you’re interested in getting involved with Norwescap’s Board in the future, we’d love to hear from you! Download the Norwescap Board Member Job Description, and reach out to our CEO Mark Valli or our Chief Development Officer Christine Coffey to explore how you can get more involved.
