Leadership Development Board
The Leadership Development Board was founded in 2009 to enhance awareness of the Buddy Program’s mission amongst Aspen’s next generation of leaders. The Board is comprised of eighteen dedicated and motivated young professionals in the Roaring Fork Valley.
The Leadership Development Board is responsible for promoting the Buddy Program’s mission through community activism, program advocacy, creative contributions, and volunteerism. Each Board member is asked to help recruit new Big Buddies, attend at least one Buddy Program activity per year, make an annual donation, and serve on a Board committee.
Additionally, Board members sell tickets to their peers for the year’s hottest event fundraiser for Aspen’s younger generation, the “FENDI Lounge Party” held in conjunction with our annual gala “Boogie’s Bash for the Buddies” over July 4th weekend in Aspen.
If you are interested in participating or learning more about the Leadership Development Board, please contact Kaitlyn Archambault at 970-920-2031 or kaitlyn@buddyprogram.org.
"The thing that strikes me the most about the Buddy Program is the sheer number of young people it affects. I'm constantly drawn to the principle - act local, effect global - and there's no better way to do that than through our youth. And there's no better local program that does that than the Buddy Program"
- David Cook, Board of Directors and Co-President of the Leadership Development Board
