“The years of experience these men bring to our board is absolutely tremendous,” said Lt. Gen. Robert Arter (U.S. Army, Ret.), CGSCF board chairman. “They’ve spent a lifetime developing leaders and training Soldiers. Having the benefit of their knowledge and commitment to the Army on our board represents a huge opportunity for the CGSC Foundation.”

Arter said the board members help the Foundation support and raise public awareness about the Command and General Staff College’s mission to educate military leaders. He added that retired general officers who are also successful in their private lives are perfect board members because they understand the Army so well and are extremely effective communicators.

The CGSCF Board of Trustees now includes 31 members of whom half are retired military officers and the others senior business executives.

The CGSC Foundation was established December 28, 2005 as a tax-exempt, non-profit private corporation. Programs supported by the Foundation include awards for the students and faculty, support for symposia, conferences, lectures, and community outreach activities that help connect the American people to their Army.
