Board of Directors

Meet Our Board

The Lampkin Foundation is governed by an all-volunteer board comprised of civic and business leaders. Members are advocates for Lampkin Foundation’s Initiatives and have the capacity and willingness to influence others to support the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Board members are responsible for formulating long-range goals and policies for the Foundation. Board members exhibit a broad range of skills and experience in order to effectively carry out their fiduciary responsibilities. We seek diversity in ethnicity, gender, geography and profession to bring a variety of perspectives and voices to the board.
