Your 2020 Board & Committee Members

The New Year has brought some changes to the Mission Community Foundation’s Board of Directors.

Candie Thorne retired as a member at large. Although, we are sad to see her leave the Board, we are happy to announce that she will continue as a member of our Distribution (Granting) Committee.

Abe Neufeld has retired from Mission Community Services Society.  As he was our representative from that organization, he is also retiring from our Board. Abe has been a great ambassador for the Community of Mission and I know we are not the only ones who will miss his knowledge, guidance and expertise.  We wish him and his wife Anne many happy days to come.

We are extremely pleased to announce that Bob Ingram has agreed to come back to the Mission Community Foundation as a member at large to our Board of Directors.  Bob has been on our Board as the Mission Community Services Representative and had been our Board Chair in 2017.  Welcome back Bob, looking forward to working with you again.

Mission Community Services Society has assigned a new member to our Board.   We are pleased to announce that Roger Dowker has joined our Board effective January 1, 2020.  Roger’s background is in accounting and he is a member of several Boards in Mission.  Roger has indicated he will also be joining our Investment committee, as he is eager to jump in and help us help others.
