Our Advisory Board

In 2019, PON formed a volunteer five-member advisory board to review current operations and give advice and support to PON. Advisory board members and members at-large participated in a retreat in 2020 to develop a three-year strategic plan, which has now been extended to 2025.

PON is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Partners. The Advisory Board oversees the activities of PON, and the Community Partners Board of Directors provides ultimate direction. Five new advisory board members joined the board in July 2024. The new board will help PON transition into its own nonprofit in 2025.
