Our Board of Directors

Guided by purpose

Hilltop Home’s mission is made possible by the dedicated leadership and oversight of our Board of Directors. This diverse group of professionals brings together expertise from fields such as healthcare, education, law, finance, nonprofit management, and community advocacy. United by a shared passion for improving the lives of medically fragile children with developmental disabilities, our board plays a vital role in shaping Hilltop Home’s vision and sustaining its impact.

Our Board of Directors provides strategic guidance, ensures responsible financial stewardship, and champions the values that define Hilltop Home: compassion, dignity, and excellence in care. Through thoughtful decision-making and active community engagement, they help us stay true to our mission while continuously growing and adapting to meet the evolving needs of the children and families we serve.

Board members are not only stewards of governance—they are ambassadors of hope. Many serve on committees, volunteer their time, and advocate for Hilltop Home throughout North Carolina. Their commitment ensures that our home remains a place where every child has the opportunity to thrive in a safe, nurturing environment.

Together with our skilled staff and generous supporters, the Hilltop Home Board of Directors helps us uphold a legacy of care, compassion, and community leadership that spans more than 60 years.
