About PRISM: Leadership & Staff

LEADERSHIP & STAFF
The talented staff runs all of PRISM's programs with the help of a large number of dedicated volunteers. PRISM is governed by our Executive Board of Directors, made up of business leaders and community members. Additionally, our Church Partner Board, made up of representatives from each of our member churches, provides leadership and an avenue for communication with the community.
