New AESA Affinity Group: Education Foundations

Welcome to the new community for those of us working with our agency foundations! There aren't many of us across the US so connecting through the AESA Community will hopefully be a benefit to all of us - no matter how long you have been working with your foundation.  A little about me - I have been with SWWC in Marshall, MN since 2006 as the communications/PR/member services person. In July of 2019, I was asked to split my time between my current job and the newly created SWWC Foundation. Since July, I have been working to build the foundation policies, procedures, plans, etc. I look forward to connecting with all of you in similar positions!  Please take a few minutes to introduce yourself to the group. If you know of others across the country working with foundations, please invite them to join!  Lead Contact: Shelly Maes, Executive Director, SWWC Foundation for Innovation in Education shelly.maes@swwc.org
