The aim of the Trauma Foundation is to raise and distribute funds to underwrite research and fund educational programs, scholarships and other programs that further the understanding, prevention and treatment of traumatic stress worldwide. Trustees will work to actively advance the foundation's operation. Responsibilities include fundraising, providing professional expertise, supporting outreach activities, representing the foundation, recruiting volunteers, and participating in meetings and functions. There will be nine Trauma Foundation trustees. Trustees may come from anywhere in the world, although most of the fundraising and activities will take place from within the United States.
Trustees serve a five-year term without compensation.
