Board of Directors

The Foundation has a Board of 16 members, some are alumni and some are not. The most essential characteristic is that each person has demonstrated an interest in helping high poverty students, in volunteering time and making financial contributions. There are quarterly Board meetings held virtually through Zoom. The majority of the work is completed in committees, which can meet at the discretion of the members. New members are added in November.

Experience in the following areas is most helpful: community/charity work; teaching or mentoring, serving on a non-profit organization board, marketing expertise, financial skills, computer expertise, fund-raising, technology, communication, event planning, administration, strategy development, financial, business/professional experience.
