Board of Trustees
Norwescap’s Board consists of 15 members representing the five counties of New Jersey where the majority of our services are located. We have a tripartite Board structure, which includes equal representation of members from the communities we serve (current or former program participants); at-large members; and members who are nominated by local officials.
If you’re interested in getting involved with Norwescap’s Board in the future, we’d love to hear from you! Download the Norwescap Board Member Job Description, and reach out to our CEO Mark Valli or our Chief Development Officer Christine Coffey to explore how you can get more involved.
Board Diversity Statement
The Norwescap Board is dedicated to enhancing the diversity of its members to better represent and understand the needs of the tens of thousands of individuals and families we serve annually across New Jersey. A more diverse Board enriches our perspectives, improves decision-making, and strengthens our advocacy efforts for our community. We are committed to inclusivity and welcome applications for Board membership from all individuals, especially those who are people of color, LGBTQ+, Latinx, veterans, aged 20-40, from diverse faith backgrounds, single parents, low-income, immigrants, in recovery, have received Norwescap services or similar services, and individuals with disabilities.
