We are community members working together to advance the interests of the Bay Area’s growing autism community. With exceptions for contracted work, the volunteer board performs the actual work of the nonprofit.

We are currently seeking to add dynamic new members to our board. Terms run for 2 years, with a 3-term term limit under the current bylaws.

If you are interested please fill out the Board Application form below.
