Who we are
Our founding board brings lived experience, systems thinking, and complementary strengths to the early building of TEFI. With research vision, careful financial stewardship, and a strong technical backbone working together, we are laying the foundation for an institute dedicated to trauma, executive functioning, and neurodivergence.

TEFI is intentionally expanding its board as the organization grows.
We’re looking to add members who bring complementary experience in research, finance, technology, nonprofit governance, and community leadership, and who share our commitment to trauma-informed, ethical systems building.
