Our People

Our all-volunteer Board of Trustees is drawn from citizens of the capital region who are actively engaged in our community. They are community leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

The Trustees provide organizational leadership and oversight, and guide the Foundation’s strategic direction. They are committed to addressing the issues of today while preparing for a vibrant, thriving future.

Board of Trustees meetings are bi-monthly in 2020 on: February 13, April 9, June 11, August 13, October 8, and December 10.
