You can create a list of staff profiles complete with photo and e-mail button.

We have already created a Board of Directors page (under About Us) for you, so you can skip the Staff Page step. Please go to Managing Staff below to learn how to add to your Board of Directors page.

If you don’t currently have a Board of Directors page on your site, you probably didn’t request it, so we put it in the ‘Trash.’ To retrieve it, click on Pages and click Trash at the top. Hover over the Board of Directors page and click Restore.
