Family Connections Board of Directors

The Family Connections volunteer board of directors is at the core of our non-profit organization. Board members currently meet every other month in the evening. We are always looking for dynamic, talented individuals who wish to give back to the community at the policy level.

If you have a passion for working with young children and their families and would like to learn more about joining this dynamic group of individuals, please contact our Executive Director, Renee Zimmerman at rzimmerman@familyconnections.org, (650) 556-9503.
