Board of Directors

Hilltop’s volunteer Board of Directors provides governance, strategic guidance, and financial oversight to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our organization. While Hilltop’s professional staff lead day-to-day operations and educational programming, the board focuses on policy, planning, fundraising, and community partnerships.

Board members serve renewable two-year terms, with executive roles held by the President, Treasurer, and Secretary. In addition, two faculty representatives sit on the board as non-voting members, ensuring that the voices of educators are present in governance discussions.

The Board’s key responsibilities include:

  • Financial Stewardship – Safeguarding Hilltop’s financial stability and sustainability

  • Strategic Vision – Supporting long-range planning and organizational growth

  • Fundraising & Advocacy – Engaging in resource development and building community connections

Board meetings are closed; however, families interested in serving may apply each year during our September recruitment cycle. If you would like to learn more about joining the board, please contact darline.guerrero@hilltopcc.org.
