Honorary & Advisory Boards

Emeritus Board Members sit on our Honorary Board, and our Advisory Board is comprised of community advocates.

The Foundation’s success was made possible in part due to the efforts of a stellar Capital Campaign Committee comprised of co-chairs Janet Garufis, Jim Jackson, and Scott Brittingham, with committee members Christie Glanville and Elizabeth Slaught.
