Who: Board of Directors

The VPP board of directors provides stewardship and governance of the organization and its actions, plays an active role in VPP’s strategy definition and development, and serves as a vital part of the network of experts we tap when we are helping our partners address their key strategic challenges. To deal effectively with the complex issues of philanthropic investing, the board has been composed to bring together the diverse expertise and viewpoints of men and women who lead philanthropic organizations, nonprofit organizations, equity-investment firms, or other commercial enterprises and who have a strong grounding in community needs.
