Community Foundation of Howard County Leadership Council Award Nomination Form

The Foundation Leadership Council was created in 2008 to extend the Foundation’s outreach to the community, to enhance the Foundation’s asset development capacity and to draw upon the knowledge, abilities and experience of key friends of the foundation. Its membership consists of 15-20 persons with a demonstrated commitment to the foundation’s mission and a willingness to use their time and talents to further that mission. The founding members are the former chairs of the Board of Trustees and invited stakeholders.
