​love of learning alive.

Be Brilliant -
Support Torch through the Foundation today!

The Torch Foundation Leaders

Behind our mission stands a dedicated group of leaders whose success is matched only by their generosity of spirit.

Our Trustees and Directors collectively bring more than 151 years of Torch membership and 69 years of service in board and officer roles. This depth of experience reflects both remarkable continuity and a forward-looking vision, evident in the leaders they have chosen to guide the organization.
 They are conservative stewards and discerning investors, committed to capital preservation while funding initiatives that deliver measurable results.

The Board represents modern best practices, advancing legal, financial, and governance standards, while remaining deeply rooted in Torch tradition with a clear focus on expansion, growth, and ensuring Torch continues forever.
