We’re excited to welcome three new members to the Switzer Foundation’s Board of Trustees this year: Michael Billingsley, Ekow Edzie and Roger Perez. We’ll be featuring one new board member a month to introduce them to the network, starting with Michael Billingsley. Welcome, Michael!
What motivated you to become a Switzer Foundation trustee?
My passion for environmental causes and the desire to be a part of an established and vibrant community of leaders and innovators focused on all aspects of environmental change.
What inspires you about the Switzer Network?
The depth and broad reaching environmental expertise of the foundation’s fellows, trustees, and staff. It is extremely rewarding to be a part of a community focused on advancing direct and measurable results to improve the environment.
What unique perspectives or experiences will you contribute to the Switzer Foundation board?
I believe my professional expertise in the financial and environmental sectors will enable me to contribute to the advancement of the Switzer Foundation and growth of the foundation’s capital resources used to support its mission. My experience serving as an Advisory Council Member to a clean energy corporate entity combined with over a decade of progressive financial management experience will enable me to provide the necessary strategic leadership, oversight, and partnership with the foundation’s staff and network to achieve its mission.
