COMMITTEES
Five standing committees and all ad-hoc committees report to the full board:
- Early Learning
- Executive
- Finance
- Grants
- Scholarships
- Property
Ad-hoc Committees are established to deal with short term projects, questions, or issues as needed and directed by the Board Chair.
As a way to further involve the community in our foundation’s business, we have designed each committee to provide for inclusion of community members that are not necessarily board members.
