Board of Directors

Board of Directors

The Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics Board of Directors includes both clinic members and community-at-large members. In July 2003, the Coalition’s Board voted to increase the number of board members to include eight clinic members and six community-at-large members to represent both the clinic member and community interests in an equitable fashion.
