Meet the HomeBase Board.
The HomeBase Cincinnati Board of Directors brings together passionate leaders, each serving three-year terms (up to three consecutive). After completing their service, members pause for a year before being eligible to return, keeping our leadership fresh and dynamic.
A strong majority of our Board proudly represents Community Development Corporations, Community Housing Development Organizations, and other neighborhood-based groups — ensuring the voices of our communities are always at the center.
The remaining seats are filled by experts in law, finance, real estate, philanthropy, and other fields, adding valuable skills and perspectives to advance our mission.
