Brian Goldman, Chair
Fractional CFO/Director of Finance, Shining Star Consulting
Brian partners with multiple nonprofit organizations, bringing nearly three decades of experience in senior management and executive leadership. Throughout his career, he has supported mission-driven organizations in strengthening their financial health and expanding their impact.
Brian’s connection to this cause is deeply personal. His late wife, Jen, was diagnosed in 2010 with EGPA (formerly Churg-Strauss Syndrome). After years of pursuing leading medical care and treatment options, she passed away in November 2018, just one week before her 47th birthday. In honoring Jen’s life and her resilience, Brian is committed to supporting others affected by vasculitis.
In addition to his professional expertise, Brian brings valuable board and volunteer experience. He has served on or collaborated with organizations such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the Central California Valley, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, and his son’s soccer club, among others.
Brian combines financial leadership, governance experience, and the perspective of a caregiver to contribute meaningfully at the board level. He is dedicated to helping the organization grow while advancing its mission with both insight and compassion.
