The CFNSB is a collegial group of professionals from across the U.S. seeking to advance the community foundation field through governing a robust national accreditation program, the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations®, and public policies that enhance a community of philanthropy nationwide.

The new members replace Eileen Ellsworth, President and CEO of Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, Mark Sidel, Doyle-Bascom Professor of Law and Public Affairs at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Jonathon Lorenzo Yorba, Immediate Past President and CEO of The Community Foundation (Riverside California), all of whom have recently finished their terms as board members.
