Black Student Fund Board of Trustees

The Black Student Fund is most fortunate to have the leadership of its Board of Trustees. Board members serve on a volunteer basis. Our Board is comprised of a diverse groups of parents, educators, and prominent business and community leaders. Many have served on the boards of our Member Schools.

The Black Student Fund Board of Trustees is responsible for the establishment of policies, the setting of the budget, and the supervision of the Executive Director. BSF takes great pride in the dedication and achievement of its Board of Trustee members, and in the prominent roles they play in supporting the Washington area community.
