The Board is responsible for conducting the business of the Coalition, overseeing and delegating tasks to the Executive Director, setting policies, and assuming the role of an Executive Director in the absence of one. To encourage youth involvement and leadership opportunities, three board seats are available to youth representatives who attend school or live in Springfield.
