Board of directors
Since its inception in 1966, the Ranch Ehrlo Society has been governed by a volunteer board of directors. These volunteers contribute a significant amount of time to assist in the direction of programs and services for youth and their families.
In recognition of this volunteer contribution and commitment to children, Ranch Ehrlo established a policy in the mid-1980′s whereby residences and group homes were named after past presidents (chairs). The board members subscribe to the Ranch Ehrlo philosophy: develop a concept of social nourishment as a primary means to counteract the effects of abuse and neglect. The Ranch Ehrlo Society is dedicated to the provision of quality residential treatment services for children, youth and young adults, who are experiencing a range of social issues.
