Board of Trustees 2026-2027
The Board of Trustees at The Waverly Community House serves a 100-year-old institution that is founded on philanthropic principles of service to the greater community through educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities. The primary duties of the Board include the oversight of the institution’s budget, the establishment of fundamental institutional policies, program and staff oversight, and preservation and maintenance of a historically significant building. Much of the Board’s work is accomplished through its several standing committees: Investment/Finance and Audit, Development, F. Lammot Belin Arts Foundation, House and Grounds, Human Resources, Special Activities, and the Trustee Nominating Committee. The board represents a cross-section of the business, arts, industry, and volunteer communities, each of whom has an expressed commitment to The Comm and their community.
