“Community Foundation Boulder County is truly the community’s foundation, and I know it will continue to thrive and improve the quality of life for everyone in Boulder County, for generations to come.”
Jeff Hirota, CEO of Community Foundation Boulder County, today announced his retirement at the end of June 2020. Jeff and his wife are looking forward to the next chapter in their lives.
“It’s the honor of a lifetime to serve Boulder County as the CEO of its foundation,” says Jeff. “I’m profoundly grateful for friendships and partnerships with some of the finest people I will ever know.
“Community Foundation Boulder County is truly the community’s foundation, and I know it will continue to thrive and improve the quality of life for everyone in Boulder County, for generations to come.”
The foundation’s Board of Trustees has begun the process of conducting a national search, and expects the next CEO to begin in early June, allowing transition time with Jeff.
“Jeff will have served the foundation for three-and-a-half years, and the board is grateful for his leadership,” says Leslie Allen, Chair of the foundation’s Board of Trustees. “He built on a strong foundation, and the institution is in a great place – both financially and programmatically.
“Thanks to Jeff’s leadership, the foundation has a new strategic plan with a vision of equity, and impactful work is underway. Additionally, we’ve put business systems in place that are making it possible to better concentrate on our core mission.”
Leslie adds, “We’re confident of a smooth and successful transition, and we’re excited about the future of the foundation – and our continued work throughout Boulder County to achieve our shared equity vision.”
