As director of The Regence Foundation, you bring your passion, strategic guidance, focus and vision to our executive team. You also head a talented, energetic staff in a wide range of philanthropic work. You believe that strategic giving can change the world, and you appreciate the alignment of philanthropy with corporate goals - like transforming health care.
