SCF Foundation Board of Directors

Members of the Foundation’s Board of Directors volunteer their time and talents to help State College of Florida achieve its mission. Our board members are leaders in the business and civic sectors of Manatee and Sarasota counties. They believe in higher education and recognize State College of Florida as one of the area’s major resources, educating and training our workforce, future employees and the community in which we live. The Board contributes their expertise and gives generously of their time and resources. Providing external oversight of the Foundation’s operations, the Board has an active committee structure which includes an Asset Management Committee, Audit & Risk Management Committee, Finance & Resource Development Committee, Governance Committee, and a Scholarship Committee.
