- The foundation has a volunteer investment committee that provides broad guidance and reviews and modifies asset allocation.
- The foundation may hire professional investment consultants and managers as deemed by the Board of Directors to execute the Foundation’s investment strategies to meet performance expectations using the Foundation’s guidelines and investment goals.
