Meetings
At least once per quarter
The board holds at least four regular meetings each calendar year, and special meetings are permitted.
Clear responsibilities, ongoing oversight
The foundation’s governance framework defines authority boundaries, maintains organizational continuity and establishes institutional expectations for responsible decisions.
Board of directors
Oversight that balances continuity and renewal
Directors serve one-year terms and may be re-elected. Staggered terms preserve institutional experience while allowing regular renewal; the current board holds elections each April.
Quorum
More than half of serving directors
More than half of serving directors constitute a quorum; ordinary matters pass by majority vote at meetings where a quorum is present.
Committees
Specialized oversight
The board may establish committees of two or more directors, subject to reserved powers and conflict-of-interest rules.
Principal officers
Defined roles, annual accountability
Principal officers include the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Each serves a one-year term, with consecutive terms limited by the governance documents.
