Trustees
The 2007 Board of Trustees of the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area consists of 20 community leaders and a representative of the Foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee.
Trustees serve as volunteers and are elected at the Annual Meeting of members each spring. Each is chosen for their unique knowledge, skills and experience and to assure broad representation across various sectors of the Holland/Zeeland community. Trustees may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms.
We are grateful to these individuals who give generously of their time and talent to provide leadership and oversight of the operations of the Foundation and of the growth, investment and distribution of its assets.
