Foundation Board of Directors
The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of 13 community leaders representing several surrounding communities. Each director brings a diverse range of educational backgrounds, talents, business experience, and perspectives. Together, this ensures the board is well-equipped to make informed decisions and maintain a strong understanding of both the Foundation’s mission and that of Barton Community College. Directors serve three-year terms and may serve up to two consecutive terms before stepping down for at least one year.
