BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Grateful Vase’s Board of Directors is a dynamic team of individuals who bring the perfect mix of expertise, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to our mission. They’ve got the business savvy and nonprofit know-how to steer us in the right direction, but they also know how to keep things fun. Whether it’s making big decisions or brainstorming new ways to enhance our mission, they’re always ready with a smile. They’re serious about our mission, but never too serious to enjoy the ride—because after all, when you're doing good with great people, why not have some fun along the way?
