The Funders Network’s Board of Directors is composed of representatives from across the membership and represents both national and place-based foundations. Directors are elected each spring to serve a two-year term (with a maximum service of four consecutive terms). The Funders Network offers various opportunities to volunteer in leadership roles across the network, including steering committees and advisory boards supporting a variety of TFN efforts. To learn more about deepening your engagement with TFN, please contact Maureen Lawless, executive vice president, at maureen@fundersnetwork.org or at (305) 667-6350 ext. 205.
If you’re curious about the picture at the top of this page: We were lucky to gather current and former board members together at our 20th Anniversary Conference in Miami. Thank you to all of our past, present — and future — board members for their service!
