BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PEOPLE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS

The Board of Trustees was formulated by by-laws first drafted in 1970. These by-laws have been updated over the past thirty years and now reflect requirements of the Department of Health and Human Services for "Federally Qualified Health Center" program expectations. People's Board must be representative of the communities it serves. Fifty-one percent of the Board members are patients of one of the centers. All Board members serve without remuneration. Meetings are once per month, on the fourth Tuesday at 6 p.m.

People who live in the communities of Greater Homewood, Govans, Pen Lucy, Rosemont, Sandtown, Winchester, Washington Village, North Anne Arundel County, Severn, Pioneer City and Brooklyn Park are eligible to join People's Board. The Annual Meeting, held in October of each year, is the mechanism by which new members are elected to the Board. Interested parties should submit their resumes to the Nominating Committee, People's Community Health Centers, 2204 Maryland Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21218. A member of the committee will contact people who submit their resumes for consideration.

Board members are asked to participate in one Board committee function. The Quality Improvement Committee, the Personnel Committee, the Finance Committee, the Fundraising Committee, the Capital Campaign Committee, the nominating and governance committee and the Ryan White Advisory Board conduct meetings on an as needed basis, usually monthly. Position and committee descriptions are available upon request.
