Board of Directors

The board of Directors of Miracle Ranch Children's Home was established in 1988 with a specific vision in mind as to what the operation was to accomplish. That vision has been described in some detail within the Miracle Ranch brochure, a copy of which is attached. The vision of Miracle Ranch is as vital as the day it was written, and our commitment to that vision remains strong.

As the board has worked with Cheryl and Cesar Uribe to make that vision a reality, we have come to recognize certain elements as necessary to continued progress in this direction, including some characteristics of Board members which seem to be consistent with MRCH direction.
