Congratulations on promotion to Executive Director!

Hired in 2015, Christine Diindiisi McCleave was NABS’s first staff person and has done much to build NABS’s programs and capacity since then. We hired her as Executive Officer and after four years with NABS the Board of Directors has promoted her to Executive Director. Join us in celebrating all that Christine has done for boarding school survivors and descendants over the years.
