THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

DC AHEC is fortunate to have a dedicated group of professionals who are willing to give their time and lend expertise to lead and guide the organization. DC AHEC’s board is unique in that it truly represents the myriad of experiences, cultures, and skill levels that is very much a reflection of the District of Columbia.

DC AHEC is always looking for others who are committed to our mission, have experience serving on a board, and are willing to collaborate with like-minded individuals by using their knowledge to provide the governance and leadership that is necessary to ensure a viable and effective organization. If you are interested in serving on the board or would like additional information please contact Kim L.E. Bell, Executive Director at kbell@dcahec.org or 202.574.6994.
