The nonprofit is guided by a 9 member Board of Directors composed of local business professionals and community leaders that represent a variety of respected organizations that serve the South East Corner of Los Angeles..

The Board is supported by a volunteer staff Executive Director, Office Manager, and  a paid part time administrative assistant that manages the organization’s day- to-day business. In addition, the HOT Advisory Board is composed of individuals that represent many of HOT’s corporate sponsors and other business leaders that help to raise money and provide a wealth of talent to support the organization’s activities.

These relationships have helped to establish HOT as one of the community’s leading service organization with a calendar of successful programs and services.
