guiding our mission
The Rickenbacker Woods Foundation is led by a dedicated Board of Trustees who bring expertise in education, preservation, urban development, nonprofit leadership, and equity work. Rooted in community, they steward our mission to honor the legacies of Eddie Rickenbacker, Granville T. Woods, the Tuskegee Airmen, and other pioneers in innovation, aviation, and Black history.
Alongside the board, our leadership team—including staff, consultants, and advisors—ensures that our programs, partnerships, and day-to-day work reflect that mission. Together, we are committed to preserving history, educating youth, and empowering the next generation of creators and innovators.
