Board of Directors

Strategic leadership. Purposeful stewardship. Community impact.

Guiding our vision with generosity, optimism, and agile thinking.

Our Board of Directors is a spirited group of education advocates, community champions, and business leaders who drive the mission and amplify the impact of the San Juan Education Foundation.

With distinct and varied ties to San Juan Unified — and an unwavering belief in the power of public education — they bring expertise, strategy, and heart to everything we do.
