Public Allies Delaware (PADE) advances new leadership to strengthen communities, nonprofits and civic participation. PADE is currently assembling an entirely new local advisory board to take their 16-year old program to the next level of prominence. This is an amazing opportunity to be a part of a whole new model of board development. They have created the entire board structure around PADE’s mission, vision and values. The board is a young (average age = 39), diverse powerhouse board, supported by a seasoned founder’s board. Please contact Tina Morrow (302.573.4438) with any interest or questions.
