Anne Walter
I’m passionate about the work we’ve been able to do in early childhood education and any effort that promotes universal preschool. Creating and sustaining community, whether a community of 2 or 2 million, also forms a common thread of interest for me in the organizations we’ve been able to support.
Adam Osteryoung
I am interested in providing opportunities for innovative programs aimed at improving the lives of at-risk populations, both in my own community and wherever people are in need. I hope to build sustainable policies and practices to ensure Comis can continue achieving its mission into the future.
Deborah Cobb
I have been involved with non-profits since graduating college. I have worked with Arts organizations, conservation groups, young adult mentoring programs for many years. The opportunity to affect positive change for future good is a core belief and I enjoy seeing the positive outcomes of our varied support.
