Committees & Volunteers

The Foundation’s Committees are typically chaired by a member of the Board. Some of those Committees may be comprised solely of members of the Board while others may have significant component of volunteers from our Sunshine Coast community. Unless a committee member is described as a volunteer, the committee member is also a Board member. The chair of the Board sits as a de-facto member on all committees.
