Meet the Board of Directors
2026 – 2027 Board of Directors
The Bloom Again Foundation is a grassroots organization driven by a dedicated, all-volunteer Board of Directors, who serve without compensation. Our team’s passion and commitment enable us to provide vital support to low-income women in need, making a meaningful difference in their lives. We have collaborated with numerous clients and achieved several significant milestones.
Our Board members represent a diverse cross-section of Los Angeles County, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise from a variety of fields. Each member selflessly contributes their time, skills, and resources to ensure that economically vulnerable working women receive the financial support they need when medical challenges arise. Their collective dedication and passion drive our mission and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
