Meet Board Vice President,
Kelly Mundt
The Foundation is so appreciative our dedicated Board of Directors. Today we share more about Kelly Mundt who holds the Vice President role.
Kelly's passion in her own words -
My passion is GIVING BACK! I believe we all have a duty to leverage our talents and resources to help our communities—the communities we live in, the communities we work with, the communities we call family. To me, it’s not a "duty"; it’s part of my DNA—and I truly love it. I am SO fortunate that I found Broomfield Community Foundation when we moved to Colorado in 2018—or maybe it found me! Either way, I consider it a blessing to work alongside my fellow Board members and with the organizations and people we strive to help. We truly work hard to live up to our ultimate goal of
Creating a Stronger Broomfield Together.
