CWI Foundation Board

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø (CWI) Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors. Board members, selected for their professional expertise and support of the College, are private citizens who donate their time to the Foundation. Board directors oversee Foundation assets management, set Foundation operational policies, serve as advocates for the College, and assist with both friend and fundraising.

The Board of Directors is accountable to College donors to ensure their gifts are being invested wisely and disbursed in accordance with donor directions. The Board works closely with College administrators so gifts are directed to CWI’s highest priorities and in line with the College's goals and policies.
