In addition to new trustees, the foundation also established a Community Council to broaden perspectives and engage people across the region. “In order to meet our mission, we need a strong board that understands the evolving needs of our communities,” said Adirondack Foundation Chairman Rich Kroes. “The collective skills and wisdom of our new trustees and community council members adds to the foundation’s overall effectiveness as we work to build healthier, stronger, more equitable communities.”
