Representatives from all member churches elect the twelve-member board at the annual meeting. The board hires and supervises the executive director who manages a staff of 23 full and part time persons and a budget of approximately $675,000. Funding comes from individuals, churches, judicatories, corporations, foundations, local government, state government, and the federal government. This does not include our subsidiary, the Louisville Economic Opportunity Corporation ((LEO), that builds affordable housing and has a budget of approximately $ 400,000.
