Board and Leadership
NAMI Glendale’s Leadership team is made up of committed volunteers just like you! The Board of Managers are elected by due-paying memberships for two-year terms. The Nominating Committee begins contacting potential board members in the early Fall, voting taking place at the start of December, and the new board is installed at the annual Holiday Party.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Board of Managers, message the current President. If you are interested in a Committee or other Leadership role, reach out to the current chair.
