Board of Governors
The Community Foundation Board of Governors is a group of people that oversees and manages the running of the institution.
Luke Cochran
Chairman of the Board
The future of Central Texas is bright thanks to the commitment of our non-profits, businesses, philanthropists, and local government partners. I’m excited for what we can achieve together as the Central Texas Community Foundation continues to be the premier partner for those seeking to live out their mission and execute their vision of making the world around them better.
Luke is a partner at Bovey & Cochran, PLLC where he represents local governments across Texas. He and his wife Haley live in Round Rock, Texas with their two wonderful children and are active in the local community and church.
