Board of Directors
Behind every life transformed at Friendly House stands a group of dedicated leaders who ensure our mission thrives. Our Board of Directors brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds—from healthcare and business to philanthropy and recovery—all who share one common belief: that every woman deserves a chance to heal and rebuild.
Many of our Board Members first encountered Friendly House as volunteers, family Members, or donors, then felt called to deepen their commitment to our work. Together, they guide our organization with wisdom, heart, and an unwavering focus on serving women in need. Their hands-on involvement and passionate advocacy have helped Friendly House remain a beacon of hope in Los Angeles for over five decades.
