Our Board of Directors

The Pendleton Historic Foundation is governed by a 20-member Board of Directors and managed by our Foundation Director and a staff of volunteers. The Board of Directors meets in Pendleton once a month. In addition, a half-day planning retreat is scheduled in early January of each year, often followed up with a mid-year reassessment session in July.
