WTFS is fortunate to have a remarkable group of caring and dedicated local citizens
on its Board. Over 80 percent of the Board is made up of local family members of
people who live with a developmental disability. Board membership is also
impressive by its professional representation in the non-profit and for profit sectors.
The dynamics of this make-up continues to breathe new life and fresh ideas into our growing organization.
