The Board of Trustees is the hub of our many volunteer activities. Since Valley Insight’s inception in the mid-1990s, we have had a steering committee of some sort. In 2002 this group began meeting regularly. At the time of our incorporation as a not-for-profit organization in 2006, an official Board of Trustees was established and has met monthly ever since. This core group continues to shape our direction, advise our teachers, help administer our classes and sits, and support Valley Insight retreats. Approximately thirty-five sangha members have served on the Board of Trustees. We offer a deep bow of appreciation to these dedicated individuals. The sangha’s Guiding Teacher serves as an ex-officio board member, attending all board meetings and sharing insights with the board.

Our current board consists of Michele Burlew, Michael Dannehy, Ellen Hollyday, Adam Knowlton-Young, Joel Lazar, Michael Stoner (president). Karen Summer (ex-officio)

In April 2026, Masaki Shuette joined Valley Insight as our administrative assistant.
