Board of Directors
PNHB members elect a volunteer Board of Directors (BOD) amongst the membership. The BOD oversees the operation of the PNHB. Without the BOD the bands could not function. Their many responsibilities include such things as hiring our conductors and coaches, making financial decisions, setting a budget, setting fees and setting the schedule.
