Leadership
The people behind the network
ANOHC is led by a dedicated staff team and governed by a board of directors drawn from member coalitions across the country. They’re not just leading the network. They’re living it.

Board Structure
How ANOHC is governed
Board Composition
- Eight to twelve members elected by the full ANOHC membership
- Each member coalition has one equal vote in elections
- Officers include chair, vice chair, treasurer, secretary, and past chair
Board Responsibilities
- ANOHC governance, including bylaws and organizational policy
- Budget management and financial oversight
- Listserv and member communications
- Adopting policy priorities for the network
Voting Structure
- Annual business meeting for all members. Each April ANOHC convenes an annual business meeting to review progress and present new board members and other issues for member votes.
- Every member has an equal voice. Primary, Affiliate, and Emerging coalition members each have one vote on membership matters.
- Other organizational business is managed by the Board. At least 51% of the Board of Directors must be present (in person or virtually) to conduct business or pass a motion.
Non-Board Committee Participation
- ANOHC members who are not on the board of directors are welcome to serve on committees
- Each committee elects its own chair
- Committee recommendations are approved by majority vote of those present
