NIC Board of Directors

Since NIC incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1993, we have benefited immensely from the expertise and leadership of the NIC Board of Directors. These dedicated volunteer leaders contribute their experience and passion for seniors housing to drive the important initiatives that help NIC deliver on its mission.
