Office of Accountability & Transparency
The Office of Accountability & Transparency (OAT) is an extension of the Board of Trustees, providing accountability, transparency and administrative oversight in tandem with Compliance to ensure that Compassion Center, and its various divisions are delivering program according to policy and the mission objective.
A diverse group of Deputy Board Secretaries provide in-depth analysis and oversight combining evaluation, recommendations and implementation – under the core leadership and guidance of J.B. Creel, Board Secretary and Chairman. A background in disruptive innovation with a focus on community service, business development and systems administration prepared Mr. Creel for what turned out to be one of the most rewarding jobs to date: serving patients.
