View Board Member List

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 15 and a maximum of 30 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(5), F.S.

ELCFV Board Members are required to:

• attend monthly meetings
• participate in committees
• develop core knowledge about early childhood development and school readiness
• remain updated on current trends in child development and school readiness

We are fortunate to have an active, involved board of directors fully committed to the pursuit of quality early education and care for our children.

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.

If you are interested in becoming a board member and you represent a private sector business or would like more information, please contact the Early Learning Coalition’s Executive Director: Lara Glaser at (386) 323-2400 ext. 197 or lglaser@elcfv.org.
