Board of Trustees
Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky is governed by a Board of Trustees. Individuals who serve on the Board are chosen based on their demonstrated concern for children and families in our community, their community leadership and involvement, their ability to provide financial assistance, and their unique skill sets and professional experience.
