Two of the six board meetings are in-person retreats in St. Louis while other meetings may be attended in person or by Zoom. Board members are expected to donate annually, engage consistently in a governance role, and are encouraged to attend our Two Thousand Steps to Make a Difference fundraiser walk, typically each September.
