Thank You, Heinz Schaerer: Celebrating 8+ Years of Leadership
With deep appreciation, we announce the retirement of Heinz Schaerer from our Board of Directors. Heinz joined the Board in November 2016 and has been an invaluable leader, serving on the Finance and Audit Committee, the Investment Committee, the Governance committee, and several ad hoc committees. He has also held key positions as Secretary and Chair, demonstrating unwavering dedication and expertise.
Beyond his leadership, Heinz and his wife, Andrea, have left a lasting legacy by establishing three permanent endowment funds with the Foundation—a record for any Director: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐛 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐳 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Heinz for his years of service, leadership, and generosity. His impact will be felt in our community forever.
