OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We greatly appreciate the dedication of our board to the work of the WNC Bridge Foundation. Without their tireless support and hands on involvement we could not provide the services and support that we do throughout Western North Carolina. Our board members live and work in the region we serve and represent many different professional sectors and personal attributes.
