The Colorado Center for the Blind is governed by our Board of Directors. Each Board member brings their own expertise to the Center’s operations. The Board meets quarterly with the Center’s management team. The primary purpose of the Board is to act as an advisory group, to set policy, and to ensure that all aspects of the Center operations are effective. One hundred percent of our board members contribute both financially and with their expertise or services to support the center and its programs.
