About Our Board

We’re grateful for the community members who volunteer their time and talents to serve on Madison ABC’s Board of Directors. Their leadership helps shape our work and strengthen our impact. Board members make a one-year commitment starting each June, and although we extend formal invitations in the spring, we welcome conversations throughout the year with anyone interested in learning more.

We are fortunate to be able to call on members of the Madison ABC Advisory Board for help and advice throughout the year. This Board is composed of members of the community and Madison ABC alumni. These volunteers are representative of the involvement of the Madison community and our alumni in the ABC program. Their commitment and contributions mean much to all.
