Our Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Tehama Together is a working board. Having never had employees, board members carry out the tasks associated with the organization’s programs and sponsored projects. With the time demands placed on board members, most of the members are retired professionals representing education, social services and financial services. In implementing the agency’s programs, acting as a collaborative umbrella, the board is supported by representatives of over one hundred nonprofits, public agencies, businesses and individuals. In addition, supportive services are provided by AARP’s Senior Community Service Employment Program. With this staffing pattern, Tehama Together can provide many services with a minimal operating budget.
The Board of Directors meets on the second Monday of the month at 4:00 pm.

"Seven years ago I met Tehama Together's CEO Orle Jackson in a Parks and Recreation meeting regarding the construction of a dog park. Since then I have been continually grateful and amazed to work beside such selfless and big hearted board members. It has been a wonderful experience to be involved

Dennis Wyman
"The reason I accepted my invitation to join the Tehama Together Board of Directors is because they are a ‘working board.’ They don’t just talk about what needs to be done but they are out there doing it. They do more than dream about improving the communities and lives of the people who make up our county, they’re out there in the trenches doing whatever needs to be done to make that happen. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of this inspiring and dedicated group of service-oriented individuals."
Susan Murphy
"I am committed to helping Tehama County establish and maintain a robust food system that educates the public, provides access to healthy foods, teaches people to grow and prepare their own food and supports the local farmers who make it all possible. Our groups collaborate, support one another, share resources and engage the community through food drives, garden planting, outreach events and classes."
