Board of Trustees

Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees provides strategic guidance and governance that strengthens Heritage’s stewardship at a decisive moment for the Conservative movement and the republic. 

As Heritage expands its influence across public policy, media, education, and culture, these leaders reinforce the institution’s vision to build an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish. Their leadership helps ensure Heritage’s work remains focused, effective, and aligned with its core priorities.
