“I’m excited to guide, assist and provide additional oversight to our Community Foundation and the funds that many community members and organizations have entrusted to it,” says Schmidt.
“Matt has a wealth of experience and will be a fantastic asset to this committee,” says Rachel Kizielewicz, Los Alamos Community Foundation Executive Director. “The committee serves an important role for the foundation, ensuring the prudent management of our assets, and we are thrilled to have Matt’s expertise.”
Schmidt joins fellow committee members Edward Jones Financial Advisor Shelly Wiemann, LACF Advisor Rick Riess, LACF Vice President Pat Soran, and LACF Treasurer Cindy Rooney. Enterprise Bank’s Eric Loucks is the foundation’s Investment Manager.
