Meet our Board
The Secure World Foundation was established in December 2002 as an endowed, private, non-profit operating family foundation by Marcel and Cynda Collins Arsenault, who wished to put their financial resources to work toward creating a stable and secure world for future generations. They strongly believe in the world's capacity to solve problems with intellect, wisdom, and compassion. The Board of Directors comprises Arsenault family members (Family Directors) and elected Community Directors. The Board relies heavily on the expertise of its staff and Advisory Committee to set the direction and goals of the Foundation.
