Over the years the PIRS Board of Directors has involved hundreds of women from a diversity of backgrounds and fields, but all with a common interest in supporting immigrant women and children. The PIRS Board is primarily responsible for the policies that guide the Society’s programs and services. However the level of involvement of each Board member can deepen depending on interests, as Board members also have the opportunity to belong to one of the Board committees: Public Relations, Fund Development, Program Development, Personnel, and Volunteers. Participation on the Board of Directors provides an opportunity to more closely connect to community-based programs, and presents an opportunity for women interested in becoming more familiar with the immigrant women community or that want to make a difference in the lives of immigrant women.
