A Message from the Chairman
excerpted from the Golden LEAF Foundation's 2007-2008 Annual Report

Jessie Thomas Bunn
Chairman of the Board

Valeria Lee, Golden LEAF’s founding president, is leaving our organization, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank her for her service. She’s been a great motivator, leader and colleague. During her time here, Valeria put together a knowledgeable, capable staff, one that is committed to Golden LEAF’s purpose. We’re sad to see her go, but thankful for the chance to have worked with someone of her exemplary character and integrity. As we continue to search for the right individual to take the position of president, we look expectantly toward even greater endeavors under new leadership, knowing our foundation remains strong.

I’d also like to recognize my predecessor, Richard Holder. Under Richard’s astute leadership, Golden LEAF focused on important priorities and launched our new community assistance program last year. Thank you, Richard, for your dedication to Golden LEAF and its mission.
