ICF has established an International Advisory Board to provide its Board of Governors and staff with strategic counsel on how the foundation can better serve its donors and nonprofit grantee recipients across the Americas and Asia. Chaired by former ICF President and CEO, Lucy Killea, the Advisory Board held its first meeting in early February.

The 16 person advisory board will offer unique knowledge, expertise and contacts to assist and facilitate ICF grantmaking in Baja California, as well as other regions served in the Americas and Asia; review and provide on-going advice on ICF’s programmatic initiatives; identify opportunities for greater community involvement and volunteer engagement with the foundation; and assist in furthering ICF’s vision and mission by identifying new funding sources and/or donors interested in international giving. According to ICF’s Board of Governors’ Chair, Leon Reinhart, “the members of the foundation’s Advisory Board will provide ICF with added breadth and perspective as ICF positions itself for future growth.”
