Board and Staff

WORKING DILIGENTLY TO CHANGE LIVES

IAUW is managed by an executive director and volunteer board of directors. The by-laws of IAUW allow for a board consisting of 15 members.

IAUW’s board of directors has entire management and control of the organization including fundraising and grant distribution. Directors are accountable to the community and are personally liable and legally responsible to ensure that IAUW is properly managed.
