Two circles of leadership.
One Herd.
Our Board of Directors provides vision, guidance, and stewardship, ensuring the mission grows with integrity and impact. Alongside them, our Herd Ambassadors bring that mission into neighborhoods and everyday life—through outreach, events, and acts of love and advocacy. Together, our herd is the backbone of Heard, working so that no parent ever feels unseen or alone.
Our Board of Directors
Our Board offers strategic guidance and heartfelt commitment to keep Heard true to its mission and values. As a volunteer-led nonprofit, we are grateful for the leadership of these dedicated members, who help shape the foundation’s growth and ensure every initiative honors the memory of Cora, Dawson, and Callan.
