S. Quality Control
The Colorado Department of Education, Special Education Services Unit has suggested
thirteen Quality indicators in their Alternative Facilities Handbook. We will be adopting these
indicators and modifying them to fit our needs and the requirements of the Colorado Social
Services guidelines for day treatment centers. We have established a format for evaluating our
program effectiveness as a part of the program evaluation section of these quality indicators.
A sample of these evaluation process is contained in the appendix. The quality indicators
address:
• Philosophy
• Policies and Procedures
• Resource Allocation
• Staff Qualifications
• Staff Development
• Assessment
0 Educational Program Components
• - Instructional and Related Services
• Discipline
0 School Climate and Organization
• Parent Participation
• School Facilities
• Program Evaluation

they typically could utilize a variety of agencies to meet their needs. Enhancing communication
efforts can save time in service overlap, information retrieval, and determination of the services
needed. This population of youth is seldom a participant of the network of available community
activities and resources. Community involvement is an area that is often excluded as an
educational resource, particularly with at -risk youth.
Community service experiences can foster the developmental growth of at -risk
adolescents. Experiential experiences can provide an opportunity for youth to learn more about
their personal abilities and interests. Steinberg and his associates (1981) have suggested that
early work experiences may enhance the development of social understanding during adolescence
and thus serve as a partial antidote to adolescent egocentrism. Social interaction patterns among
the typical high school students frequently are limited to peers, teachers, and family members,
and relationships with the latter two are often based on stereotyped attitudes and/or long
established response patterns. In the economic marketplace, egocentrism, psuedostupidity, and
social zinsensitivity (afflictions from which adolescents supposedly suffer and about which
teachers frequently complain) are not rewarded but are quickly extinguished.

7. Marketing Strategy
There are several aspects to marketing this product:
1. Marketing the program to the public school system to encourage referrals
and collaboration efforts.
School administrators, counselors and teachers will be informed about the services CHOICES provides
to enable the widest range of school district referrals. Specific procedures for staffing individual program
participants from the schools will be established to maintain close working relationships and networks with
school staff. Representatives from school districts will be invited to participate as CHOICES Board members
as well as members of curriculum and therapeutic sub -committees.
2. Marketing the program to the potential students to encourage increased
enrollments.
Specific program goals and objectives will be outlined in a direct services plan to be given to potential
students. This will take the form of direct contacts, short media productions, and contacts with the potential
students and their families and/or case managers and advocates.
3. Marketing the curriculum and the program to other communities for
replication and/or expansion.
A data base of potential users of the curriculum will be established and contacted directly or through
agency representatives or professional organizations. Specific presentations will be tailored to the needs or
requirements of each group or individual.
4. Marketing the program for Resource Development.
A special market of potential donors and/or foundations will be contacted through appropriate one on
one contacts as well as through response to requests for proposals. A specific strategy will be individualized
to meet the stated needs and requested response to each contact.
5. Marketing the program to the business community and community agencies
to encourage partnership in development of a continuum of services for youth
and inclusion of youth in their community.
Design and development of a data base and contact network will be established and maintained to
secure necessary integration of services. The various youth service agencies will be routinely contacted to
insure constant and current contact. A specific agency needs analysis will be put into place to maintain on -going
up-to-date network communication and interaction.
Supplanting these missing support systems can be addressed through involving
communities in the services that focus on at -risk youth. Financial shortages will not allow us
to continue to misuse resources. Overlapping services and lack of efficiency and organization
can no longer be tolerated by public agencies. Collaboration between agencies can serve as an
effective marketing and recruitment tool. At -risk student needs seldom occur in only one area,

6. Competition
There are no other private non-profit schools with a primary focus of providing the type
of therapeutic education to youth in the area. There are several private schools, one day
treatment center, and some residential programs that offer educational programs.
The private schools Rivendale, Oakwood, and other religious schools are organized for
the purpose of providing academic skills to a more mainstream population of normal students.
While they may take an occasional high risk or emotionally disturbed student, the majority of
the populations are able to succeed at grade level or above in basic skills.
Larico has two residential programs for youth with one having a focus on drug/alcohol
addictions. They provide educational programs that are similar in nature to public school
curriculum and use public school texts for some of their instruction. The teachers may or may
not be certified in Special Education. They also offer a day treatment program at their
residential site that is somewhat traditional with a focus on therapy and individualized
instruction. Youth enrolled in the day treatment program are typically phasing out of the
residential setting and receive instruction with residents of the other Larico program. Their
clients are generally placed by Social Services and the majority of their funding comes from
Social Services. Their focus differs in that they are organized for the purpose of providing
treatment and not education.
Mountain Crest and Evergreen treatment centers serve adolescents in an in -patient setting.
They offer educational components to their treatment programs for 2-3 hours per day or less.
The focus of their programs, however, is in treatment of addictions or psychiatric disorders in
isolation of educational activities. These programs utilize more of a medical model for treatment
that isolates therapy from real life experiences.
The public schools are also competitors for the students we will be serving. Poudre R-1
offers a self-contained program for emotionally disturbed adolescents, Matthew Street Center
and an alternative school for students over 16. There are some special programs for
disadvantaged and behavior disordered youth but the enrollment is extremely limited and there
are many who do not receive services. In all district special programs, attendance and
graduation requirements are the same as the school district's policy and many students are unable
to succeed in either setting because they are unable to abide by the attendance, work, academic
or behavioral guidelines. District officials have indicated that there is a market for the type of
school we are proposing. They have indicated that the district sends 10 to 20 students out of
the city to residential programs because there is nothing appropriate locally. In Loveland, the
Thompson Valley schools do not offer special education services for emotionally disturbed youth
after 6th grade but they do have an alternative high school that is rumored to have a one year
waiting list. They have indicated a serious need for the type of program we are suggesting. In
Grand Junction, local school officials suggested that they could fill the program to capacity the
first day we open. The alternative high school there is full but there are no educational services
available that are similar to what we are proposing there.

skills training, are lacking in study skills, have needs for remedial instruction in basic
skills, and lack general living skills. Alternative curriculum addressing these areas has
been an effective tool for keeping some students in school. On the other hand, when an
alternative placement is used to remove or segregate students, rather than providing for
unmet needs, it often pushes students out of school and covers as a tool to refuse
appropriate educational services to disadvantaged students. Use of alternative and
segregated education must carefully consider the social and cultural consequences of such
treatment.
The literature suggests that effective educational and therapeutic treatments of high risk
youth contain a variety of specific components. Each study uses differing terminology but the
basic components have certain similarities when compared to the components of developmental
theories, resiliency studies and "effective educational practices." Resiliency studies suggest that
caring and supportive relationships, high expectations and student involvement and participation
in relevant activities drive the development of services in all three systems of school, family and
community. Researchers have demonstrated the influence of friends on.social understanding and
a sense of identity, on the capacity to form and maintain egalitarian relationships, on positive
mental health, and on prosocial behavior (Savin-Williams & Berndt, 1990). When intact and
competent families are unavailable, others (such as mentors) may substitute to provide alternative
frames of reference as supportive role models offering the encouragement that is needed in
perspective taking. The services which supplant these missing support systems have been able
to significantly improve the outlook for this population.

the current literature: parent involvement, development of local policies to focus on serving all
children, development of a local demographic profile, ongoing evaluation of programs,
accountability, community collaboration and the use of . mentoring with students at risk.
Collaborative inclusion of everyone in the entire change process could result in appropriate
interventions by an informed and knowledgeable community.
Current research is beginning to value the consideration of student perceptions and
student affect in retention efforts. Patricia Phelan, et. al. (1990) asked students their opinions
regarding what would keep kids in school. The results are interesting. Many of the factors
mentioned by students as needed were not related to economic restraints but were under the
direct control of the principals and teachers. Amazingly, the students responded with desires
to learn, ". . . despite negative outside influences, students from all -achievement levels and
sociocultural backgrounds want to succeed and want to be in an environment in which it is
possible to do so."
Linda West (1991), suggests in her book, Effective Strategies for Dropout Prevention of
At -Risk Youth, that there are five principal strategies that have been successful in dropout
prevention:
1. Mentoring Strategies - Linking identified youth one-on-one with a mentor whom the
student can confide in, look to for support and guidance. "According to Fennimore and
Pritz (1988), the role of the mentor is to aid students in promoting the most essential of
all developmental areas --self, or existential, development."
2. Tutorial assistance strategies - Provided by paraprofessionals, resource teachers, regular
academic teachers, community agency personnel, senior citizens, parents, other students,
mentors, college practicum students, or volunteers..
3. Counseling and guidance strategies - Counseling programs that stress self-concept and
that establish trust and communication with youth identified as at -risk has been effective
in keeping students in school (West, p. 182). This can be accomplished through peer or
other types of support groups for specialized needs of students identified as being at -risk
(divorce, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, emancipation, after treatment, depression, or
general living problems).
4. Parental Involvement Strategies - This can take the form of home visitations, parent -
school conferences, parent education centers, parent volunteer programs, regularly
scheduled parent activities, parent support groups, parent counseling programs, or
occasional parenting education or a variety of other activities that attempt to involve
parents in their child's education.
5. Alternative curriculum strategies - Students identified as being at risk often struggle with
issues that are not always apparent but that keep them from becoming self-sufficient
contributing members of society. These students often demonstrate the need for social

As this table indicates, there are a wide variety of school services that could improve the
quality of education for at -risk students. A theoretical framework for tomorrow's schools seems
to be lacking in current research, however. While there are many models suggested in the
literature, there is little research on the components of effective dropout prevention programs
and few indications on the measured effectiveness of the programs themselves. The National
School Boards Association (1987) argues that school officials cannot wait until all the desired
elements are in place before taking action. It summarizes the variety of remedies suggested by

6. General Industry Description
As an industry schools, admittedly, are not addressing the needs of the youth who are
the most needy. There are a variety of reports for the 80's and 90's calling for changes in
youth -serving institutions (High School and Beyond, 1987; Committee for Economic
Development, 1987; Education 2000, 1989; U. S. House Select Committee, 1989). As the
number of children in poverty continues to rise and dropout rates continue to increase, it is
obviors that familial supports are clearly lacking. It is in our national self-interest to provide
the naturally occurring supports that are lacking through the public/private sector (Lipsitz, 1991).
What then are the necessary supports? Historically, research has focused on the causes that are
external to school (i.e. family Socio-economic status, minority status, family support, and
gender). While there is certainly credibility to this approach, it has encouraged the attitude in
education that intervention strategies for at -risk youth need to be addressed outside of the school
setting. Educators have been reluctant to consider addressing the unmet social and psychological
needs of youth. This lack of interest has allowed schools to continue supplying services that
don't fit the current school populations. According to Wells (1990) schools do, in fact influence
students' decisions to drop out, although little attention or concrete evidence has proven this.
Larry Cuban (1989) agrees that the inflexibility of schools and school systems
contributes to student academic failure and poor performance. The "graded
school" he contends, is one of the most inflexible of the structures. All students
are expected to learn and retain information at the same pace or be left behind by
their peers. Schools eliminate those who perform or behave in contrast to the
norm (Wells, 1990).
The National Association of School Social Workers was cited in Wells (1990) as
suggesting the following school -related contributors to school dropout: lack of cooperative,
positive relationships between and among students, staff, parents and administrators; inadequate
discipline procedures and/or policies; lack of alternative schools/programs to meet the needs of
at -risk groups; and lack of collaborative teamwork among school and community professionals.
Wehlage and Rutter (Wells, 1990) state that "in the process of becoming a dropout, the act of
rejecting the educational institution must also be accompanied by the belief that the institution
has rejected the person.
Society must value inclusion of all students in equal opportunities. The process toward
this end is slow and deliberate and deserves careful consideration. The process needs to involve
everyone. Current research on the effective components for services to at -risk youth
demonstrate this attitude for total community involvement. The following table cited in Wells,
S. E., At -risk youth: Identification. programs and recommendations, (1990), portrays the wide
range and most common characteristics of successful at -risk programs and indicates a holistic
approach.

Trained staff will provide assistance in the youth's home as determined necessary to
encourage the youth to be successful in achieving the student outcomes and, at the same time,
remain at home. Intervention will average 20 hours per week of monitoring for 30-45 days
during which time a thorough family assessment 'and transition planning will be completed.
Recommendations will then be reported to the sending agency for follow-up and for further
transition planning. Family intervention will continue as agreed upon for less than 20 hours per
week resulting in a plan to either gradually discontinue support, change services or objectives,
or refer the family to another support system.
B. To offer to families of origin, foster families, proctor families, and group
home staff the familial support services which will assist them in facilitating
youth to succeed in reaching identified outcomes while remaining in
placement.
Familial support services will be monitered using a global case management approach to
assure that interagency services are coordinated and are comprehensive enough to meet the client
family's needs. Services could include offering regular weekly support group meetings and
regular group activities, respite care, education and weekly contacts to follow-up on progress
and transition planning. Services will be available at times convenient for all families.
C. To form a partnership with Colorado State University, Poudre R-1 School
District, Thompson R2-J School District, Larimer County District Attorney's
Office, Larimer County Youth Services Bureau, Department of Social
Services, Division of Youth Services, and private youth service providers in
Larimer County for the purpose of collaborating and networking services for
youth.
This project has attempted to involve agency support in planning and developing the
components of this project in an effort to formulate a service that is integrated with available
services and that will meet the needs of the community. Agency representatives from every
system have provided valuable information concerning problems, weaknesses and local service
needs. CHOICES staff is committed to working with available systems and on interagency
teams.
each student's needs based upon a thorough evaluation of the student's educational, social and
family history and a comprehensive current assessment of family needs, educational needs, and
behavioral and therapeutic needs. These will be designed to be monitored regularly (i.e.
monthly) and changed to meet the needs of individual progress and follow-up needs. The
planning system will include the formation of interagency transition goals to address potential
changes in placements in order to ensure smoother and successful transitions. Representation
of all agencies that are appropriate will be involved in all aspects of the monitoring from
assessment and planning through transitioning and follow-up planning.
C. To develop and operate a youth assessment model that is interdisciplinary
and comprehensive.
The assessment center will evaluate youth to determine levels of functioning and their
level of needs in:
• family and/or residential support,
• educational development,
• personal, behavioral and psychosocial skills,
• personal interests,
• vocational aptitude,
• recreation and leisure,
• substance abuse.
This assessment process will include gathering information and recommendations from
the parents, youth, historical data and all other agencies (school staff, case workers, probation
officers, therapists, etc.) who have recently worked with the youth. All of the above
`stakeholders' will be asked to assist in future planning by meeting together to discuss the results
of the assessment and determine recommendations and goals. This information will include
recommendations in an individualized plan format which will be available for collaboration with
other agency supports such as court, school, social services, or probation. Every effort will be
made to provide a collaborated service that identifies the level of service that each agency can
provide, a commitment of those providers to work together as agreed upon in a single
individualized plan for each youth, and a plan to communicate progress and/or changes in
planning regularly. Interagency individualized plans will indicate an accountability for all
service providers, will address transition planning goals and will state when regular follow-up
evaluations will be held.
GOAL THREE: FOCUS ON COMMUNITY
To collaborate with the community to provide a wide continuum of services to youth
and families at risk.
A. To provide support for families through intensive interventions in the youth's
family system.

2. How can we know that we are doing the best we can do?
3. What do we want to do to make it better?
The following tools are some of the measures that will be utilized to answer these questions:
1. Surveys of parents, youth, staff, all outside public and private agencies who have
been involved, public school teachers and employers.
2. Student data including attendance and graduation rates, achievement scores,
behavior ratings, interest and vocational assessment scores, and individualized
planning objectives, work records.
3. Program growth rate, economic efficiency, and completion of quality indicators.
4. Board of Trustees and Board of Directors formal evaluation, task force self -
evaluation reports.
GOAL TWO: FOCUS ON SERVICES TO YOUTH
To provide an educational program that addresses therapeutic issues directly
through an interdisciplinary curriculum that is applied and experiential, outcome -
based and meets basic skill level objectives in the core subject areas of math,
science, social studies, and communication.
A. To provide direct services to 8 to 12 youth between the ages of 8 and 18 in
familial systems of multi -aged youth and adults.
Students will be grouped into families of 4 - 6 members each including adults, senior
citizens and multi -age youth. Learning activities will be cooperative in nature, applied (active
or hands-on) and will integrate psychological and social issues, academic skills and real -life
content in the learning objectives. For example, the curriculum component of building a boat
will include academic and life skills such as reading, computing and organization commensurate
with the each student's abilities, and will focus on individual therapeutic issues (such as
handling conflicts) while the students work together with their family and community to
accomplish the overall goal. Student objectives will include plans to transition back into the
regular public school system as soon as that placement would be the least restrictive one for the -
student.
B. To monitor and track student successes and levels of progress through a
comprehensive system that: 1) identifies student needs, 2) plans for transition
needs and follow-up tasks, 3) that evaluates progress, and 4) that involves all
stakeholders.
A comprehensive individualized therapeutic and educational planning system will identify

GOAL ONE: FOCUS ON PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
To develop and administer a non-profit, tax exempt corporation for the purpose of
providing a high quality, innovative and unique therapeutic and educational service
to youth and families of youth at -risk.
A. To efficiently develop and administer the project.
The Management Team will administer the start-up phase of both pilot projects in Grand
Junction and Fort Collins. A Board of Directors will govern and advise the Management Team

B. To design, test and market a model for developing curriculum which is
interdisciplinary and focuses on the core subjects of communication, science,
mathematics, and social studies, which is outcome -based and integrates
psychosocial therapeutic interventions to meet the needs of high risk students.
The CHOICES staff will design curriculum based upon a process which meets all of the
criteria mentioned above. This process focuses on the basic academic subjects to keep the
students at the academic levels of their public school peers allowing for return to their home
schools. It will integrate psycho -social and therapeutic issues into their daily activities. It will
be interdisciplinary and address traditional science and social studies concepts along with
communication and computation skills while teaching the new basics which include positive
coping, problem solving, and decision making skills. The curriculum will utilize applied,
experiential activities that motivate student interests, identify healthy recreation and leisure
activities and force social skill and relationship building by working in a community.
C. To complete one or more research studies which measure the effectiveness of
the therapeutic/educational curriculum and program model for meeting the
needs of high risk youth.
Graduate students from Colorado State University will be invited to study various
components of this project, to determine the effectiveness with high risk youth.
D. To evaluate the quality and effectiveness of services and program through
formative and summative program evaluations.
Summative and formative program evaluation planning will include a variety of measures
to answer the following questions:
1. Are we doing, what we said we would do?

The United States has the highest rate of child poverty among the industrialized nations,
nearly three times that of most other economically advanced countries. The current poverty rate
is higher than during the worst recession years of the 1970's (Schultz, 1991). Twenty percent
of children live in families whose income is below the poverty level. In 1987, AFDC reached
only 56% of children in poverty. The result for the children of these families is sickness,
psychological stress, malnutrition, underdevelopment, and daily hardship that quickly takes its
toll on their young minds and bodies (Shulz, 1991).
While there are serious consequences for individuals that result in lowered employment
and significantly lower income over the course of a lifetime, there are a range of negative
consequences for society.
It was estimated in 1972 that high school dropouts cost the nation annually about
$77 billion: $71 billion in lost tax revenue, $3 billion in welfare and
unemployment costs, and $3 billion in crime prevention costs. A more recent
estimate suggests a loss of about $68 billion in tax revenues to all levels of
government from the high school class of 1981 alone (Sherman, 1987).
The Intercultural Development Research Association estimates that the benefits of drop out
prevention efforts based on the recovery of lost tax revenues and savings in welfare, job
training, crime and unemployment costs are ($17.5 billion) over nine times the cost of education
and dropout prevention programs ($1.9 billion) (Sherman, 1987). Keeping a child in school
costs $3,600 per year while incarcerating a prisoner for a year costs $14,600 (U.S. Congress,
1991).

3. Market Description
The market is at -risk youth. Epidemic proportions of youth are at risk. Prison
populations are ever on the increase and there is an increase as well in the gap between poverty
and middle-class. The trends are not encouraging. Young people from the least well-off
demographic groups are forming a growing segment of the child population (Entwisle, 1990).
About 14% of young adults in the United States still fail to obtain diplomas, and their
educational deficiencies usually are linked to occupational, economic and social disadvantages
(Bachman, 1991). Poudre R-1 School District officials report that over 400 youth were counted
as dropouts in their district during the 1991-92 school year.
The lack of a diploma limits employment options and thus future economic and social
conditions. According to the 1985 Current Population Survey reported by Orr (1987), in
Keeping Students in School, one in four dropouts and one in ten high school graduates was
unemployed. The median income of dropouts twenty-five and older in 1984 was 30 percent
lower then the income of high school graduates. Because they suffer from reduced employment
opportunities, dropouts require more welfare, health care, and unemployment subsidies. They
are more likely to be involved in criminal activities, thus incurring costs for judicial and penal
services. Public expenditures for welfare, health care, and law enforcement that can be
attributed to school dropouts are estimated to be from $10 to $29 billion annually (Catterall,
1985 in Orr, 1987).
There are a variety of national statistics that speak to the economic and statistical
significance of implementing alternative educational projects for high risk adolescents. A few
of these will follow:
• More adolescents are experimenting with harmful substances at younger ages. For example, between
the 1950's and the 1980's, the percentage of students who had ever tried an illicit substance prior to
the loth grade rose from less than 5% to 30% .. .
• The homicide rate has doubled among 10 to 14 year olds during the past 20 years....
• Over the past 20 years the suicide rate tripled among 10 to 14 year olds and doubled among 15 to 19
year olds... .
• Abuse and neglect increased 74% during the past decade, and adolescents experience more abuse and
neglect than younger children do (Waggoner, 1991).
"The next decade may well be the most challenging in the history of American education.
Economic and technological changes in our society are demanding a highly skilled work force
that will have to come predominantly from the type of students with whom the schools have had
the least success (Waggoner, 1991)." Ernest L. Boyer, a former U.S. Commissioner of
Education, calls serving disadvantaged students "the urgent unfinished business for American
education." He states, "Unless we find ways to overcome the problem of failure in the schools,
generations of students will continue to be doomed to frustrating, unproductive lives. This
nation cannot afford to pay the price of wasted youth. (Waggoner, 1991)." U.S. Secretary of
Education Lauro Cavazos has estimated that, by the year 2000 "as many as one-third of our
young people will be at risk (Schultz, 1991)."

2. Goals and Strategies
The primary purpose of the CHOICES corporation is to provide an alternative educational
program for high risk adolescents and pre -adolescents that integrates therapeutic treatment with
outcome -based experiential education in a holistic approach to developmental learning. Our
vision is to:
1. To design and implement developmentally appropriate experiential learning opportunities
in real life settings that meet participants bio-psycho-social needs.
2. To provide experiential activities through collaboration with existing state and local
agencies, school districts, businesses, and community organizations.
3. To define quality indicators for both the program and program participants that will be
used not only as a guide for the daily operations of CHOICES but which will also be
used as the basis for research and development.
The following is a summary of our program goals.
GOAL ONE: To develop and administer a non-profit, tax exempt corporation for the
purpose of providing a high quality, innovative and unique therapeutic and
educational service to youth and families of youth -at -risk.
GOAL TWO: To provide an educational program that addresses therapeutic issues
directly through an interdisciplinary curriculum that is applied and
experiential, outcome -based and meets basic skill level objectives in the
core subject areas of math, science, social studies, and communication.
GOAL THREE: To collaborate with the community to provide a wide continuum of
services to youth and families at risk.

1. Executive Summary
CHOICES is a private, non-profit corporation organized for the purpose of
developing an alternative educational program for high risk youth that will integrate
therapeutic treatment with outcomes -based experiential education. Two facilities are
proposed to open by September, 1993, one in Grand Junction, Colorado and the other in
Fort Collins, Colorado., Both sites will begin by serving about 12 youth between the ages
of 8 and 18. Resources are being sought to cover start-up costs until operational dollars
are available through existing sources.
This program is unique in its method of instruction. Students will be grouped
multi -age with youth and staff to re-create a familial structure to nurture and support each
other in achievement of their individualized educational and therapeutic goals. Parents,
proctor parents, foster grandparents, college mentors, peers and CHOICES staff will be
included in the familial tasks of developing relationships and personalized sharing in work
and play. The youth assessment center will offer comprehensive evaluation information
that will assist service providers and judges to determine client needs for placement. In
addition, a research component will measure the effectiveness of the therapeutic
educational programming for possible replication.
Family inclusion in the therapeutic process is essential to student success. The
CHOICES family support system for natural families and/or foster parents will include
intensive preservation interventions, education classes, mental health evaluations and
follow-up, support groups, therapeutic training sessions, transition follow-up support,
and/or referral to other agencies for additional assistance.
From the inception of this project, community youth service providers and
representatives from the District Attorney's office, Colorado State University, the Jacob
Center, local school districts, the business and medical community and others have been
involved in the planning and collaboration of this project. The organization is governed
by an active Board of Directors and managed by a team of three directors: Galyn Carlile,
Lynette Carlson and Allen Miller.
