Board of Directors 2024-25
MVEF is a non-profit educational foundation run by an unpaid Board of Directors of dedicated parent and community volunteers who are elected annually. Their time, professional expertise, energy, and passion for public education enable the MVEF to maintain a low overhead, so more of every dollar donated goes directly to fund our programs.
