Dreamfish members: relational leadership
Dreamfish members are equal owners of Dreamfish. Dreamfish members vote for the Board of Directors at the annual meeting. Each active member has one vote.
Board of Directors
Currently, the Board includes Tiffany von Emmel, Linda Crafts, and Camille Harris. A nominating committee of three will be selecting the next Board candidates to fill five positions (see the ByLaws for details).
