Long Beach AIDS Foundation Board

The Long Beach AIDS Foundation is a volunteer-based organization.  The Foundation operates programs and events including the primary fundraising event AIDS Walk Long Beach. The Walk has provided funding for over 34 beneficiary agencies totaling more than $ 2.1million dollars since 1989. With more than 25 Years of AIDS in the United States, the Foundation, serves as a social change agent inspiring and empowering collaborative HIV/AIDS service organizations to embrace new strategic paradigms, create sustainable change in our communities, and reinvigorate innovation and passion in AIDS service organizations to stop new HIV infections in our goal make a real impact on the war on AIDS.

The Board of Directors are committed to running a premiere Long Beach non-profit agency with all the help of national and local resources.  The Board has adopted a 'Code of Ethics' policy and a 'Conflict of Interest' declaration to ensure a culture of corporate governance above reproach.  In an era where "Public Trust" is being tested, the Foundation is focused on governance and transparency.

Currently, board members serve a two-year term and may serve an additional term if re-elected. Elections are held in the month of January.  Meetings are generally 90 minutes, one-evening a month.  The board has evolved to a governing board with the enhanced operation of volunteers and the events advisory group under the leadership of the executive director.  A large portion of our volunteers have been with the Foundation for several years which serves as a testament to the leadership and operational efficiencies of the organization.

The Board receives no direct or in-direct compensation and fully discharges their fiduciary duties in board governance, and additionally seeks the expertise of consultants, advisory associations and network organizations to ensure improved operations.  The Foundation is registered with GuideStar and Charity Check, a non-profit validation clearinghouse,  and is an active member of the Long Beach Non-Profit Partnership.
