Board of Directors
AsOne Ministries is made up of two boards, The Ugandan National Board (Company Limited by Guarantee) and The United States Board 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization. We work together with a united passion for the vision for the mission of AsOne and for the people of Uganda.
United States Board
The U.S. Board includes mission driven, experienced, and passionate individuals. The main purpose of this board is to provide strategic direction and financial oversight by focusing on mission, strategy, and organizational goals. The US board approves budgets created by the on-ground Ugandan Leadership and U.S. Leadership. They also act as a support system to AsOne’s leadership through prayer, relationship, and advisory roles.
