The Huntington governing body is a five member Board of Trustees. We also have a Board of Overseers that work with each program area in making recommendations to the Trustees. Some of the Trustees have a family relationship with some of the Overseers. The Huntington's President is a board member of a not-for-profit that has been established by an Overseer.
