Robert Heilbronner
I’m delighted to be selected to join the Osher board and am looking forward to working with Lyn Decker, our three talented staff members, and our steadfast group of board members who have shepherded our program through these very difficult times during the covid pandemic.
Susan Morris
I’m thrilled to be joining the Board of Osher. Since joining in 2014, I’ve taught classes, made terrific friends, and taken some excellent courses. I want to give back to this great organization.
Stanley Winikoff
Osher became an active part of my life shortly after my retirement from the practice of law. It has been an enormous pleasure to attend classes with bright, interesting students taught by student leaders who are both learned and passionate about their subject matter. I came to admire Osher, it's staff, and administration in the past 5 years. Election to the Osher Board of Directors provides a way to return to the Osher community a small portion of what I have received.
