What is a Vela Microboard?

A  Vela Microboard is formed when a small group (micro) of committed family and friends join together with a person with challenges to create a non-profit society (board). Together this small group of people address the person's planning and support needs in an empowering and customized fashion. A Vela Microboard comes out of the person centered planning philosophy and is therefore created for the sole support of one individual.

Essential Components of a Vela Microboard

• The process must be focused on the dreams and wishes of the person for whom the board is being created;
   

• All Microboard members must be in a close, voluntary, and committed relationship with the person for whom the board is being created;
   

• These close relationships are the foundation of the board and must be honored above all other activities.
