Role

Nick Valvano & Robert Lloyd |
The V Foundation Board of Directors is entrusted with and accountable for the strategic leadership and governance of the organization. The 29-member Board is comprised of prominent business leaders, award-winning athletes and coaches, distinguished physicians and world-renowned entertainers. Their governance is integral to the sustainability and long-term effectiveness of The Foundation in ways that are consistent with our core values and principles.
Personal Commitment
Jim personally asked the original 15 members of the Board of Directors to carry on his fight. Today, each one of them remains committed to fulfilling his legacy. Many of the new Board members had never met Jim, yet have embraced our mission. The Board works tirelessly by giving their time, energy and financial assets to help us improve every year.
Our many accomplishments start with the direction that the Board of Directors continues to set. Our Board is personally engaged, and as a result, The Foundation has achieved an unprecedented level of success for a relatively young organization. In just 14 years, we reached our goal to have 100 percent of our operating expenses covered by the endowment fund, which is an incredible example of our Board members' personal commitment. Our Board has helped us create an organization that can survive forever.
