Organization

How is the Foundation governed?
The Board of Trustees, consisting of 16 members,
elected for a term of three years, is responsible for the operation of the Foundation. There are five officers:
Chair; Vice Chair - Awards; Vice Chair-Development; Secretary; and Treasurer. The Chair and Vice-Chairs must be Trustees.

All serve without compensation and pay their own way to Foundation meetings, held twice each year. The annual meeting is held each Autumn in Estes Park, CO, with a
spring meeting held elsewhere in the U.S. Trustees are only reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as postage, long distance phone calls, etc., related to the discharge of their duties.

There are seven standing committees of the Foundation. Two,
in particular, the Development and Awards committees,
offer significant opportunities for those individuals wishing
to volunteer in support of the Foundation by contributing their time and talent - as well as their treasure. To learn more about the Committees of the Foundation, click the icon on this page.
