2017 WesleyLife Board of Directors
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, WesleyLife is governed by an all-volunteer board of directors. Since 1946, the board has led the growth of WesleyLife from a single retirement community to a comprehensive network of health and well-being services and initiatives for older adults, wherever they call home. Drawing upon both life experience and areas of professional expertise, board members provide oversight for the entire organization and define the ways WesleyLife lives its mission.
