Boards of Directors

Guiding the Future Together

At Community Care Network (CCN), strong leadership guides our mission of enhancing the well-being of Rutland County. CCN operates under the governance of two independent Boards of Directors, each overseeing distinct areas of service:

  • The Board of Directors for Rutland Mental Health Services (RMHS) – Focused on mental health, developmental disability and substance use treatment and recovery services, the RMHS board plays an important role in guiding the delivery of these essential supports to our community. RMHS Board meetings are held bi-monthly and are open to the public, ensuring transparency and community involvement.
  • The Board of Directors for Rutland Community Programs (RCP) – Overseeing a diverse range of programs, including early childhood education, senior services and wide-ranging volunteer opportunities, this board helps to ensure comprehensive support and opportunity for individuals in our community at every stage of life.

Together, these boards provide strategic direction, oversight and advocacy, reinforcing CCN’s commitment to compassionate, innovative and community-focused care.
