SEQUOIA LIVING BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES

They come from the public and private sectors, with backgrounds in finance and technology, healthcare and government senior services. All were drawn to Sequoia Living by the same belief: that the path we walk in life was built by those who came before us. And that the next generation will be measured by its treatment of the last one.
