Board Members
The Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia Counties Board of Directors is made up of public and private sector representatives from both Flagler and Volusia County. The makeup of the board is mandated by state legislation and includes a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 35 members. ELCFV bylaws state that, to the extent possible, the makeup of the board should consist of equal representation from both Flagler and Volusia Counties. These board members are volunteers and are not compensated for their service on the Coalition board.
The Governor of the State of Florida appoints the Chair and two other board members, who must meet the same qualifications as private-sector business members appointed by the Coalition under Section 411.01(6), F.S.

Local Early Learning Coalitions abide by The Florida Government in the Sunshine Law, which prohibits discussion outside a duly noticed meeting between any two or more Early Learning Coalition Board members regarding any matter that may come before the Board.
Communications made or received by the Early Learning Coalition Board or staff members are considered public records that must be retained and, upon request, made available to the public and media.
