Diversity is the number one strength for NRC's Board of Directors. Together, they have 65 years of combined experience in business management, nearly 50 years in humanitarian services, 40 years in business funding and financial management, over 20 years in education, and 6 years in distribution. Some members also have multicultural experience and diverse experience with boarding school, cyclical poverty, and underserved populations. Volunteerism is a common spirit among these team members. They volunteer to be on the NRC Board of Directors because they have something to contribute and want to make a difference. They also understand that having a developed skill is a key to being self-supporting. The Board works hard to keep National Relief Charities effective and stable, so that we can continue to be a strong resource for the reservation communities where we work and where nearly 800,000 Native Americans live.
