Leadership Circle

The Leadership Circle represents leaders from throughout the metropolitan area who come from different neighborhoods and embrace various cultures. But at the core, they have distinctive characteristics in common. Each leadership donor possesses a compassionate spirit and a desire to take action. The result of their investments is a caring community that is resilient in the face of change and responsive to new challenges. The members of the Leadership are committed individuals who give graciously to our community. They are leaders who possess true generosity and a commitment to today’s challenges.
