Brian Goldman, VP Resource Development
Director of Finance for the Wallis Annenberg Legacy Foundation
“I lost my wife, soulmate and best friend that afternoon,” Brian says. “I cannot think of a better cause that is closer to my heart that also honors Jen and her brave fight.”
Brian hopes to use everything he learned and experienced during those eight years to help others. “I also hope to use my professional background to help the VF grow,” he explains. Brian has nearly 30 years of experience working for nonprofits. Most of that time has been at the senior management or executive level.
He also has experience serving on or working with other boards, including Make-A-Wish® Foundation for the Central (California) Valley, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, and his son Brandon’s soccer club. In addition, he has volunteered for various organizations over the years.
“Add in that I was a spouse and caregiver to someone who lost her life to vasculitis. All of that provides me with the ability to be a board member from many perspectives,” Brian said. “I have passion for the cause.”
