President & CEO, Community Foundation Sonoma County
Elizabeth Brown believes that we all have a deep desire to give and we are at our best, individually and collectively, when we harness generosity and channel it towards inspired change.

Beth previously served in leadership roles at the Marin Community Foundation and the Council on Foundations in Washington, D.C., and as a philanthropic advisor at US Trust. She is a recent winner of the North Bay Business Journal’s Nonprofit Leadership Award.
