Orinda Community Foundation Seeks Applicants for Board Position
The Orinda Community Foundation (OCF) is searching for a new member for its board of trustees, and is encouraging civic-minded Orindans to apply for this important leadership role.
OCF was founded "for the principal purpose of supporting community events, programs, projects, visual and performing arts, and community related partnerships in Orinda. It serves to facilitate and develop philanthropy, engage in grant making, and to take other actions for the benefit of the Orinda community," according to OCF bylaws. Orindans see the fruit of the all-volunteer board's labor at the annual Fourth of July Parade, summer concerts in the park, the installation of sculptures and other works of art in public spaces, the NorCal Kids Triathlon, Orinda Action Day, and in many other ways large and small.
According to OCF's executive director Dick Westin, the foundation has generated more than $150,000 to benefit Orinda and its residents since the organization was established five years ago. "We hope to do more in the coming years with your support and the support of the community," he said.
For information or to apply for the single board vacancy, call Sue Severson at (925) 254-1679, or email: orindafoundation@gmail.com. The deadline to apply is May 30. L. Snyder
