Board of Directors 

The Touchstone Institute Board of Directors represents a broad range of health and other professional expertise, bringing vital perspectives to our work.

The Board provides high-level oversight of the organization’s financial responsibilities and corporate operations, including valuable input to ongoing work to ensure effective governance frameworks.

In providing guidance and strategic direction, the Board led this year’s process to create a new Strategic Plan for 2025 to 2030, which is essential to strengthening Touchstone’s leadership in health workforce transformation as we navigate an evolving sector.

Spanning current Directors, recent outgoing members, and those who served in the past, the insights, guidance and dedication of the Board are instrumental in ensuring Touchstone Institute’s long-term growth. We are sincerely grateful for their contributions.
