Board of Directors


To ensure the Foundation’s policies and practices best represent the interests of its educational beneficiaries, the Foundation specifies in its Articles of Organization that a majority of its Board of Directors must be representatives of organizations eligible for Foundation support. The majority of the Board of Directors, then, is comprised of individuals who serve, or have served, as directors, officers, key employees, or in leadership roles in organizations that fall within the Foundation’s defined class of charitable beneficiaries. In addition, all members of the Foundation’s Governance Committee, which nominates new board members, are representatives of educational organizations.
