Board of Directors

Governing Board


Pawnee is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the county commissioners of the 10 counties we serve. Each county is allowed two standing members and one alternate who are appointed to three-year terms. Special board appointments may include an adult with a Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) and a parent of a child with a Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED). The board is responsible for selecting and evaluating the executive director of the agency and also sets strategic objectives.
