Governance

Accountable to the public we serve.

The Other Side of Rock Bottom operates as a public trust. Our work is guided by an independent board of directors, reviewed by a community advisory council, and made transparent through audited financials, public filings, and plain-language reporting. We answer to the people seeking recovery and connection, the donors who fund our peer support meetings, and the regulators who hold every 501(c)(3) public charity to a higher standard.

Board of Directors

The leaders who guide Other Side of Rock Bottom.

Our board brings together expertise across recovery support, mental health advocacy, trauma-informed care, and community service. Together they steward our mission to ensure everyone impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, or trauma has hope, connection, and the support to build a life beyond rock bottom.
