Board of Directors

Background

Our Board is made up of volunteers with experience and expertise in many areas relevant to population health and philanthropy. Board members share a common love for the City of Lakewood and a desire to continue the legacy of health and well-being for all citizens. The 17 member board includes two members appointed by the Cleveland Clinic and 2/3 are Lakewood residents.

Board members attend regular board meetings and serve on one or more standing committees. Standing committees include: Executive; Governance; Finance; Learning, Evaluation and Assessment; and Community Engagement.

The HLF Board accepts applications to its Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. The Governance Committee reviews all submitted applications whenever there is a vacancy.
