Steering Committee
The Steering Committee of the Appalachia Funders Network is the main governing body and is responsible for the growth, development, and well-being of the Network.
It consists of a set group of influential local, state, regional, international, federal, public, and private grantmakers and philanthropic investors who are working collectively to guide the overarching roles, activities, and impacts of the Network. They attend monthly conference calls and serve on at least one Group or ad-hoc committee.
