EPCALM’s Honorary Board of Trustees is a group of prominent persons — donors, artists, scientists, public officials, and others—with an interest in the foundation’s program but lacking the time, availability, or expertise to provide meaningful oversight. The Honorary Board will serve the foundation in a non-fiduciary capacity, such as an advisory board, donors’ circle, or professional council.
