Russ Hayward

Member of the Board of Trustees

"This is my fourth year as a member of this board, and it's been a pleasure to work with everyone who has been on it during that time. They are a conscientious group of people who do their homework, discuss the issues thoughtfully, and take a long-range view. They want to know how a decision will affect members not just next month but five years from now."
