Arizona Walk to Emmaus Board of Directors
Thank you for your interest in the current Board openings. Below are the currently open (and NEEDED) Board positions.
Willing Servants Needed for Board of Director Positions:

All members of the Board of Directors shall be participants in good standing of the Arizona Walk to Emmaus Community and members in good standing of a local church.
We need you. We need you to pray. We need you to pray about serving the Arizona Walk to Emmaus community by becoming an active member of the Board of Directors. All meetings are held online via Zoom so no travel is required for monthly meetings.
The primary function of the Board of Directors is the overall responsibility for the Arizona Walk to Emmaus movement.
