Board Meetings
Salud Para La Gente’s Board of Directors meets on Zoom, usually on the last Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Most of the meetings are held in closed session, but the beginning portion is open to the public. This is a time for community members and staff to connect with the Board, ask questions, and share ideas. We welcome your participation and engagement.

Public comment is scheduled from 6:10 pm to 6:20 pm. Attendees will first enter a waiting room and be admitted once the public comment period begins. If many people wish to speak, the Board may limit time so everyone has a chance to be heard.
