To our board, a standing ovation.
We’re fortunate to have such support within our diverse, qualified board, and their backgrounds cross the not-for-profit and for-profit worlds. Members are all established, successful professionals with great interest in San Francisco’s kids. They are local leaders, artists, parents. And believers.
We could not be so relevant to San Francisco’s children without their keen advisement. All of our board members would say that educating the imagination is relevant to all walks of life.
