Board of Directors

Cotillion for Achievement is guided by a dedicated, all-volunteer Board of Directors. Our members generously contribute their time, talents, and expertise to organize educational experiences, coordinate the annual Cotillion Ball, raise funds, and recognize outstanding high school seniors in Andrew and Buchanan counties.

We are grateful for their commitment to carrying forward Cotillion's tradition of achievement.
