Chatham Education Foundation Names New Board of Trustees

The Chatham Educational Foundation says it hopes to have another impressive year with a team of fresh leaders at the helm.

The foundation named its 2014-15 board of trustees Monday, with co-presidents Stacey Ewald and Heather Robinson ready to oversee its activities for the next year.

“We have an incredible pool of board volunteers this year who have committed to sharing their time, talent and expertise with CEF with the goal of helping Chatham’s schools and children,” Ewald said. “As co-presidents, Heather Robinson and I couldn’t be more thrilled to lead CEF with the help of this amazing group of people.”

CEF issued 32 educational grants totaling more than $100,000 to six public schools in multiple disciplines. The CEF says its goal is to work with the community to foster private donations for public schooling.

It has been recognized by the Daily Beast and New Jersey Monthly for its contributions to education in New Jersey.

The new board is planning the two major events CEF hosts annually. The second ever Annual Trivia Night will take place Nov. 15 at the Fish and Game Club. Registration for the event will be open Oct. 9. The 14th Taste of Chatham will take place Feb. 27 at Fairmont Country Club. A registration date for this event will be announced later.
