Over the last few years, the question of why the Mazamas have a Foundation has been asked by some Mazama members, staff, council members and even members of the Mazamas Foundation.  To address this, a working group was organized to review this issue.  This ‘Mazamas EC + Foundation Workgroup’ has been conducting meetings to explore the future necessity of the Mazamas Foundation.  This work group is balanced with members of both the EC and the Foundation Board.  As this may appear to be controversial to some of the membership, it was felt that our communication plan should include an FAQ.  This Frequently Asked Questions Document, is intended to answer the anticipated most popular questions.  Additionally, we will arrange an online ‘Virtual Town Hall’ meeting at 7pm on July 28th, 2020 to address any specific question you may have on this decision.  We have set-up an email address to direct any specific questions or concerns to: foundation_faq@mazams.org Mitsu Iwasaki, Executive Director, will be monitoring this email.
