About Us

Board of Directors and Advisory Board

The Western Justice Center Foundation is governed by the Board of Directors and provided with additional support by the Advisory Board. The Board encourages organizations aligned around important problems to join with the Western Justice Center in developing and carrying out programs of clearly demonstrated value. Western Justice Center Foundation Directors believe this approach makes for a more efficient use of donor resources than for WJCF to have a large staff carrying out an array of programs in many areas. Board members play active roles in managing Foundation assets, guiding the restoration process of WJCF buildings, shaping programs and, except for judges, raising funds.
