Advisory Council

The Foundation’s Advisory Council is a group of local residents who volunteer their time serving as ambassadors between the Foundation and multiple facets of the community. They act as liaisons and provide advice to the board of directors and staff on local challenges and opportunities. Members also provide expert guidance and different lenses of experience on the Foundation’s focus areas including economic development, quality education and training, community development and quality of place, community engagement and collaboration, and health and human services.
