The Board of Directors is the governing body of the Foundation, responsible for administrative policy and the authorization of all grants.
Each of the members brings his or her own experience and background, whether in business, community service, law, education, finance or other areas to bear on the direction of the Foundation’s work. Their experience with local issues and knowledge of changing economic and social conditions sharpens their ability to function on behalf of the Foundation. It is their responsibility to represent the donors’ interests, to support grantee partners, and to ensure through the years a most advantageous application of grant dollars.
