The SEF is a not-for-profit IRS section 501(c)(3) organization independent from the Solon Community School District. We are governed by a volunteer board of directors that elects its own officers.
|
The board is currently recruiting supporters of the Solon Community School District to join the Solon Education Foundation Board as voting members.
The board meets 8-10 times per year to direct assets, administer the annual grant cycle and assist the SEF 501(c)(3) partners with their fund management. Your minimal commitment will make a big difference to SCSD teachers and students.
If you are interested, please contact a board member or email soloneducationfoundationweb@gmail.com

I have been in the healthcare industry for over 24 years, starting my career within the operating room as a registered nurse in 1995 after graduating from the University of Iowa College of Nursing. Over the years, I have filled various roles within the surgical field including staff nurse, quality improvement, Operating Room Manager, and am currently the Executive Director for the Iowa City Ambulatory Surgical Center. I completed by MBA with healthcare administration at the age of 45 in 2017 :) In my free time, I enjoy reading, gardening, spending time with my family, and listening to live music. I joined SEF because I wanted to provide a volunteer service to a school district that has given back so much to our family. |
