Board of Trustees

Guiding the Eau Claire Community Foundation is the Board of Trustees. This volunteer group is made of community leaders dedicated to making Eau Claire a better place to live. The Board has the authority and responsibility to develop policies, procedures, and regulations for the operation of ECCF; to monitor the foundation’s financial health, programs, and overall performance; and to provide the President & CEO with the resources to meet the needs of those ECCF serves.
