Board of Directors

The Board of Directors at the HCC consists of a collective group of individuals who set aside time in their lives to make the decisions that help strengthen the HCC. They are our local business owners, teachers, professors, retirees, mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers; they are people like you, who want to see quality programs for both the youth and community at large. The Board meets on the 1st Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m.
