BOOST-er High School Summit Advisory Board 2008

We are pleased to announce the 2008 Advisory Board for the BOOST-er High School Summit members.  The Advisory Board members share a passion and commitment to meet the needs of the constituencies we serve.  The goal for this meaningful and all-inclusive BOOST-er Summit is to bring together key stakeholders in the high school out-of-school time field to share promising practices for the encouragement and development of quality programs and to create change in the communities we serve.  While our Board guides the strategic planning process, they bring their own particular skill set and expertise to provide leadership to the overall event.
