Armer Foundation for Kids Board Members

The Armer Foundation for Kids is privileged to be guided by a Board of Directors composed of individuals from diverse professional and personal backgrounds, bringing a wealth of business acumen, nonprofit expertise, and volunteer experience to our mission. Their collective knowledge and dedication enable the foundation to effectively serve the unique needs of families in the Greater Phoenix area whose children are battling chronic or life-threatening medical conditions.
Our board members include seasoned professionals from sectors such as business management, finance, healthcare, and community advocacy, ensuring a well-rounded approach to governance and strategic planning. Their diverse perspectives foster innovative solutions to address the financial and emotional challenges these families face, such as high medical costs, lost income, and travel expenses for specialized care. Many board members have firsthand volunteer experience, which deepens their understanding of the complexities involved in supporting this vulnerable population.
With a shared commitment to compassion and accountability, the board oversees the foundation’s operations, including fundraising efforts like the Annual Holiday Toy Drive and events such as the Armer Foundation Gala. They ensure that resources are allocated effectively to provide direct financial assistance, comfort items through initiatives like Armer Cares, and community support for families. Each member participates in formal orientations, signs role agreements, undergoes annual conflict-of-interest reviews, and contributes to regular board self-assessments to uphold transparency and inclusivity.
The Armer Foundation for Kids Board of Directors is driven by a passion to alleviate the burdens faced by families, ensuring that children like Emeri and Deyla receive the support they need to focus on healing and hope.
