The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, a broadly representative group of community leaders. Trustees are elected for three-year terms and may serve three full terms. The Board is responsible for setting Foundation policy, approving all grant awards, and for hiring investment managers to implement the Board's investment policy.
