Berrien Community Foundation - Board of Trustees

The Emeriti Trustee Council, comprised of past Trustees, act as an advisory committee to the Foundation's President and provides insights and perspectives into their various communities. The Foundation views this as a great way to stay in touch with past Trustees and to retain their wisdom as the Foundation strives to accomplish its mission now and into the future.
