HCEF Advisory Board

In order to facilitate growth and to make the Holmes County Education Foundation (HCEF) as valuable as possible to Holmes County and its residents, the Foundation Board of Trustees determined to enhance HCEF leadership. An advisory board has been created and will extend the influence and importance of the Foundation throughout the county in pursuit of the HCEF's mission, which is "to strengthen our community by helping Holmes County residents pursue further education opportunities."

The advisory board meets with the Foundation Board of Trustees and serves as a sounding board for new initiatives. Other board expectations include reviewing and advising on scholarship and grant programs, contributing to development and revision goals and strategies, assisting with fundraising initiatives, and helping to identify and access opportunities for program development and community outreach.

Providing a balanced perspective, the advisory board consists of a diverse membership from the following sectors of the community: education, business, Amish, trades, civic organizations, and past award recipients. HCEF Trustees and staff are very appreciative of these community leaders' willingness to give of themselves, their time, and their energy to serve the Foundation and their community.
