Board of Directors

The Smoky Mountain Center Board of Directors is responsible for collaborative, comprehensive planning, budgeting, and the implementation, and monitoring of community-based mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services. The Board appoints an Area Director and establishes policy guidelines for the Area Director to execute the agency in such a way that meets the diverse needs of the community.

Board membership includes representatives from county government, consumers, family members, community leaders, as well as professionals in health and human service related fields. Each of the 15 counties served by SMC has one at-large member and one county commissioner member. In addition, each of the three regions served by SMC; south, north and central, as well as the Qualla Boundary have an additional advisory member appointment.
