“Serving at CFT means making good on the promises of those who entrust us with their legacy.  But most importantly, it consigns upon trustees the obligation to deliver a better and  more vibrant community; both for those yet to come as well as those who do not currently have a seat at the table. I am honored to have been entrusted with this challenge alongside an extraordinary group of individuals.” — Pepe Guevara
