Welcome Back to Your OB Community Foundation Monthly Update!

We’re thrilled to announce the election of our new Board Directors, who will begin their 2-year term starting May 2025. With their addition, our board now has a total of 12 dedicated Directors, each bringing unique perspectives and expertise to help guide the future of the Ocean Beach Community Foundation.

At the same time, we are saying goodbye to 3 board directors whose terms have come to an end. They’ve decided to take a break from board duties and transition to our Advisory Board. We’ll share more details about the Advisory Board in the coming weeks.

To ensure a smooth transition, we’re hosting a special get-together where our current board members will brief the new Directors on current work of the committees, upcoming events, define talents, and build relationships for the year ahead. We are excited to work together as we continue to strengthen our community and further our mission.
