In 1994 Capable Partners empowered a democratically elected board and officers to direct the organization. By-laws designated that Physically Challenged members must represent the majority of the board members as well as a majority of the officers. Elections are held each year with the results announced at the annual banquet.

Capable Partners Board Meetings are held at 6:30 P.M. the second Thursday of the month, we generally meet every other month so call for exact dates. Meetings are at Courage Center located in Golden Valley, Minnesota. Members and those interested in membership are welcome!
