How the Nonprofit Was Organized

A board, two program directors and volunteers behind two initiatives.

The nonprofit was run by a volunteer board of directors and two program directors, one for each initiative: Healthy Coastal Communities, which covered Smart Walks to school and Complete Streets, and the Green Coast Council, a forum for sustainable business. Volunteers handled much of the day-to-day work, from the website to leading walks.

The chart that once illustrated this page is no longer available. More about the programs: Healthy Coastal Communities, the Green Coast Council, program staff and the board.
