The Wichita Foundation was created by residents dedicated to making a positive investment in our community. Our leadership reflects that goal and in July, we welcomed four new members to our Board of Directors:
- Bree Cox, media relations professional
- Pat Gearhart, Director of Healthcare Banking at Simmons Bank
- Stephanie Harder, Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs at Textron Aviation
- Jennifer Hill, Partner at McDonald Tinker PA
We are thrilled to have the four new Board Members join us in our mission to maximize the power of philanthropy to spark change in Wichita. WF also elected our slate of officers for the 2025 fiscal year:
