Why I Serve
“As a child of divorce, I’ve seen first hand how divorce impacts a family. Even though board members don’t have contact with KITM clients, I wanted to play a small role in ensuring children and families receive the support they need during a difficult transition.”
– Kevin Smith

Advisory Council
Advisory Council members serve in an advisory capacity to the Agency. In this capacity, the Council does not vote on Board matters and does not have governance authority. Council members have a unique opportunity to be involved without the full-time commitment of joining a Board of Directors. The Council advises the Board and/or staff on issues facing the Agency and keeps the Agency connected with the community at large.
Contact Information: For more information regarding the Kids In The Middle Advisory Council, please contact the Chief Development Officer, Sarah Barone at Sbarone@kitm.org.
