Executive Committee

About the Executive Committee

The Horizon Foundation is made up of a collective of forward-thinking business executives based in Lee County who are focused on recruiting new companies and retaining successful businesses in the area. Professionally and personally motivated to see Lee County thrive, the Horizon Foundation’s Executive Committee includes professionals from almost every industry. The committee gathers together for one simple reason: to improve Lee County’s economy and ensure it stays prosperous for the generations to come.

Each member of the Executive Committee provides his or her time, talent and treasury to support the Lee County Economic Development Office outside of everyday employment. After experiencing success within their chosen fields, these executives represent a thriving and healthy economy in our county. Each member chooses to give back to the county through the Horizon Foundation. Its goals include inspiring more growth and ensuring that the county can recruit the right companies to the area, while also maintaining and improving Lee County’s standard of living.

An introduction and headshot for current Executive Committee members may be found below. Investors receive access to these professionals during Horizon Foundation investor-only events and meetings.
