About the ECC Foundation

I never lose sight of the fact that investment in future leaders makes our community stronger. We can change the course of a person’s life – and the lives of his or her family - through the gift of education. And one student at a time, we can change our world.

Caren Nickelsen, Emeritus Board Member

The work of the ECC Foundation is driven by an independent Board of Directors – community and business leaders who believe that education unlocks potential. The following guiding principles frame the Board’s direction and actions:

Mission

To maximize access to an exceptional education that will improve lives and strengthen our community.

Vision
