OUR MEMBERS
We seek members from diverse backgrounds, skill sets, experiences and community sectors to help guide our grantmaking and scholarship processes. These volunteers bring perspective to the broader work of the Community Foundation and are appointed annually by the Board of Directors to serve for three-year terms.
The Community Foundation has a strategic focus on inclusivity and equity across all of its work. This includes a priority of adding more racial and ethnic diversity to the membership so that the ambassadors of our work are reflective of the Chautauqua region’s demographics today.
Become a member by contacting Mary Ruth, Donor Services Associate.
