Advisory Board

Few organizations are more dependent on their boards, advisory boards, and advisory organizations than The Salvation Army. As The Salvation Army has grown to be the oldest and largest service organization of its kind, it has also become increasingly complex.  Its unique structure, diverse relationships, and multiplicity of programs have added to its complex nature. This is further compounded by the confidence placed upon the organization by the general public with its increasing demands to undertake a variety of additional community services. The Salvation Army wisely concluded many years ago that these responsibilities were beyond the capabilities of its officers to manage without significant support from local community leaders.

Advisory boards are absolutely essential in the work and acceptance of The Salvation Army in the communities in which they serve. These boards are no longer simply helpful to The Salvation Army but are imperative to the work, progress, and life of it. The wisdom of involving key, influential leaders of the community in the work of the Army is obvious and has proved itself many times over.

This page is for those who are members and those looking to explore their options with The Salvation Army. Here you will find tools, history, statistics and more to help you serve your community in community.

Our Advisory Board members are business leaders and philanthropic supporters looking to make a difference with the limited time that they have. They choose to give back by participating in a variety of committees, consulting on various issues from property to fundraising. Their guidance and assistance is key to the success of The Salvation Army in Southeast Missouri.

If you are considering serving in an advisory capacity, we encourage you to peruse this section of the site, watching videos and learning more about what The Salvation Army is all about.
