Non-Board members also bring expertise and assistance to our committees. Event Committees : Support planning and executing Foundation events: • Charity Motorcycle Ride • Heroes Walk and Roll The Policy and Governance Committee: Ensures adequacy and currency of policies, and supports board evaluation. Nomination Committee: Plans recruitment for orderly succession of board members concluding board terms, ensuring the mix of needed skills and perspectives. Bylaws stipulate its membership.
