The Lighthouse Foundation Board of Directors had a terrific 2022, thrilled to get back to in-person events, engagement opportunities, and supporting new endeavors. The Foundation Board is made up of members of the community who wish to engage with and support the philanthropic efforts of the Lighthouse. Members attend quarterly meetings, encourage event attendance and act as Lighthouse Ambassadors to the greater Seattle area. If you’re interested in joining the board, contact Engage@LHBlind.org or visit LHBlind.org to learn more.

“Serving on the Lighthouse Foundation Board has been an extremely positive experience for me. It has allowed me to better educate myself and to volunteer in an impactful way to help the community.”

“Each time I volunteer at an employee function, I am humbled, amazed, and touched by the inspirational and happy workforce. I truly feel like I am receiving so much more than I am giving, so for those reasons, it is a great investment of my time.”
