The Issaquah Community Network is seeking applicants for its volunteer board of directors.

The Issaquah Community Network is a state-sponsored organization dedicated to supporting healthy youth, family and community. In recent years, the Network has focused on youth suicide prevention, decreasing depression and risky behaviors among young people, increasing availability of family counseling services, and using data from the Healthy Youth Survey to improve community health efforts. The Issaquah Community Network is developing a partnership with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to help extend DVR services to youths with disabilities.

Applicants should reside or work within the Issaquah School District boundaries. To apply, send a letter to Barbara de Michele, Executive Director, at 580 Front St.South, Unit C-215, Issaquah, WA 98027 or by e-mail to issaquahcommunitynetwork@mindspring.com.

The Issaquah Community Network board meets four times a year, with additional meetings scheduled as needed.  Board members may also be asked to assume volunteer tasks in furtherance of the Network goals. More information is available on the Network website, www.issaquahcommunitynetwork.com.
