The Bexley Community Foundation is starting 2021 with new leadership.
At the board of directors meeting last month, Preston Elliott was elected as the new board chairman and Manika Williams and Cecil Gouke were named new members. All will serve three-year terms.
“They have wonderful experience in the community,” Executive Director Hallie Raskin said. “It’s always good to get new people involved.”
Elliott succeeds Jeffrey Walker, who served as board chairman from 2018 through 2020 and continues as a director and member of the board’s executive committee. Walker’s tenure included helping lead the foundation’s capital campaign to raise private donations to support the city’s Jeffrey Mansion expansion that is scheduled to be completed early this year.
