Foundation Board of Trustees replaced Trustee Ron D.
Burton
Board of Trustees Statement
On 22 April, The Rotary Foundation Board
of Trustees replaced Trustee Ron D. Burton as chair of
the Board of Trustees, effective immediately. The trustees
elected Trustee Vice Chair Brenda Cressey to serve as
the new chair for the remainder of the Rotary year, ending
30 June 2019.
The trustees determined that actions taken by Trustee
Burton were in opposition to an earlier decision by the
Board of Trustees, which made his continued role as chair
untenable. His term as trustee continues through 30 June
2019.
While it is unfortunate that today's decision was necessary,
the trustees recognize and appreciate Trustee Burton's
extensive service and contributions to Rotary and The
Rotary Foundation.
