Liz Bankowski

"Liz Bankowski remembers the call inviting her to join the company's board of directors. Being a very big fan of the company, she responded, "Yeah!" Upon joining the board, she made the observation that while the company staffed the quality and financial parts of its three part mission, that which was deemed by all as the most important, the social mission, was not staffed. In typical Ben & Jerry's fashion she was immediately given that job and became one of very few executives focused on corporate social responsibility. Liz has been a trustee of the Foundation since 1994. In addition to consulting on corporate social responsibility she is on the board of The Windham Foundation and The High Meadows Fund organizations working to support the economic and environmental sustainability of Vermont’s small towns."
