Trillium Welcomes New Governing Board
Approved board structure will include local voices from all 46 counties
GREENVILLE, N.C. -- On July 7, 2024, changes to North Carolina law necessitated adjustments to Trillium’s Governing Board. On July 19, 2024, in compliance with the new law, Trillium submitted a new proposed alternate board structure to NCDHHS Secretary Kody Kinsley for approval. On December 30, Secretary Kinsley approved the proposed alternate structure and selected new initial board members to serve on Trillium’s Governing Board, effective December 31. Importantly, Trillium’s regional structure will remain unchanged, ensuring that we continue to hear local and regional voices. In addition, the new members appointed to the Governing Board, as listed below, bring a strong mix of healthcare, social services and financial experience, and collectively, it will be these voices, thoughts and experience that form the foundation for our new governance structure.
Each county will continue to appoint two individuals to our five Regional Advisory Boards. That structure will not change. Trillium has utilized a long-standing alternate board structure to give every county an equal voice in our work. This new requirement does not alter that historical approach to hear about vital local issues.
Moving forward, one (1) member of each regional board will serve on the Governing Board, plus one (1) member of each regional Consumer Family Advisory Committee. The remaining five (5) voting members are appointed by the Governing Board. Two (2) non-voting provider representatives will be appointed by our Provider’s Council and the DDFA Council, and one (1) non-voting member from the Health Equity Council.
The new Governing Board members are:
Trillium is excited about the opportunity to have County Commissioners, Consumer and Family Advisory Council members, our Provider Council, and others who have experience in the health care, social services, or financial sectors, equitably represented on Regional Advisory Boards and on the new Governing Board. Every one of these voices are important in our work and in setting our strategy to ensure the members in our health plans can live their healthiest lives in North Carolina.
Trillium thanks all previous and current board members for their continued partnership and support of our work in our communities.
