Casa Dorinda is owned and operated by
the Montecito Retirement Association (MRA), a California non-profit
corporation. The corporation has a 16-member Board of Directors who
serves voluntarily and with no compensation. They are not residents
of Casa Dorinda, but live in the Santa Barbara
and Montecito communities and serve on the board because of a
personal commitment to continuing care retirement. (A number of
former board members have moved to the Casa after their term of
office expired.)
Each Director is elected to a three-year term and is eligible for
re-election to the Board of Directors for a second three-year term.
No Director may serve additional terms unless a period of two years
has intervened after the service of two three-year terms. Each
Director is nominated and elected to the board by the present members
of the board.
The MRA Board of Directors is responsible for the policies and
management of Casa Dorinda. They employ an
Executive Director who in turn employs a staff to provide services to
the residents of Casa Dorinda in accordance
with the Lifetime Residence and Services Plan Agreement. The
residents of Casa Dorinda elect their own
Resident Council, which is an advisory body to the Administration and
the Montecito Retirement Association's Board of Directors.
Casa Dorinda's 16 board members devote
their time and special expertise to keep Casa Dorinda
the kind of home residents have come to expect and appreciate.
