McGregor Board of Directors
Like other New Hampshire nonprofit organizations, McGregor is served by a volunteer Board of Directors. While some began their time with McGregor as medical volunteers, others were recruited because of their connections with the local communities or because of other critical skill sets.
The members of McGregor elect the Board of Directors which is, in turn, responsible for all aspects of the organization including overseeing its Executive Director.
