“The Barton Community College Foundation exists to raise private sector funds by providing leadership and to prudently manage gifts to benefit educational opportunities and initiatives of the College.”
The foundation has a volunteer board of 13 community leaders serving from several surrounding towns. Each director brings to the group a diversified degree of educational background, talent, business experience, and opinions. This ensures the foundation board has a solid background in decision making processes and a full understanding of the foundation and Barton Community College's mission statements. Each will serve a three-year term and has the option of serving two terms before stepping down for at least one year.
