Our Board

CFEF members elect officers and five members-at-large from among all voting members to serve on an Executive Committee. These peer leaders work with the president and staff to govern and direct the activities of the Consortium on behalf of all member foundations, bringing opportunities and issues to the full membership at quarterly meetings.

The Voice of Florida Business in Education represents the estimated 1,100 business and community leaders serving on the board of local education foundations. While they are not a governing body of CFEF, they are committed to expanding resources for Florida's local education foundations, promoting dialogue on emerging education issues and positioning the Consortium as the statewide organization that represents high-level business and community leadership in the realm of K-12 education.
 
Each CFEF member foundation appoints one representative to the "Voice” council with additional business leaders who are involved with Florida's local education foundations on a regional or statewide basis also appointed by the group's Executive Committee.
