Board Leadership

The Life Sciences Discovery Fund board of trustees represents a distinguished and diverse cross section of individuals from industry, academia, and the foundation and public policy arenas. The eleven-member board consists of seven members appointed by the Governor and four members appointed by the Legislature. Trustee terms, other than the chair (appointed by the governor), are for four years from the date of their appointment.

Biographical information on both legislative and non-legislative trustees follows. We also wish to recognize and thank Senator Bill Finkbeiner who served with us through June 2006.
