GHC Foundation - Board of Directors

The Grays Harbor College Foundation's Board of Directors governs the work of the Foundation. Our Board shapes the Foundation's direction through its mission, strategy, budget, and key policies; ensures that the leadership, resources, and finances in place match the Foundation's vision; and monitors and improves the performance of the organization. The Foundation Board meets formally eleven times each year as well as between the regular meetings as needed to conduct the Foundation's business.
