Board of Corporators

Corporators are responsible for the perpetuation of the Foundation and its 100+ year old mission to provide housing to the elderly poor. Corporators carry out their responsibilities by electing the members of the Board of Trustees each year at the Annual Meeting, and by approving changes to the by-laws.
