Board of Directors

The NASPA Foundation Board has been volunteer driven since its inception in 1973. Board members volunteer their time to serve as ambassadors, solicit gifts, provide strategic oversight, and support foundation programs such as Pillars of the Profession and Channing Briggs Small Grants. Additionally, each NASPA Foundation Board Member commits to joining the Diamond Club and assuming travel and lodging costs for foundation board meetings.

Message from the Board Chair

I have been a proud and active NASPA member throughout my career. Being able to serve as the board chair for the NASPA Foundation fills me with immense pride because of the work we are doing. Gifts from our donors support professionals to attend a conference they otherwise would not have been able to and covers memberships dues to ensure members are able to stay connected and engaged with our work. Being a part of the Foundation and moving our profession forward with grants supporting innovative research is inspiring. This fills me with hope and excitement for our profession. If you’ve already joined our work – thank you and good work! If you are not yet a donor – come join us! Together, we can make magic happen.
