Additional details

We are a small organization. Some current board members are in their 90's. The pool we can draw on is restricted by our mission in that we are trying to serve locally, and we are defined as a group made up of people from local religious congregations, although we might accept unaffiliated members. The early group included influential clergy persons, who recruited board members. that's not the case now. I intend to send a letter to staff at congregations but haven't yet.
