The Haiku Foundation Committees are the vehicles through which most of our projects are realized, including planning, short- and long-term strategies of implementation, funding and maintenance. They are staffed by volunteers with a special interest and expertise in the topics they address. We welcome your enquiries.

	Brad Bennett, our Education Resources co-chair, has been an elementary school teacher in the Boston area for over twenty years. He has taught haiku to eager young writers during each of those years as part of writing units and extra-curricular poetry clubs.
	Thomas R. Borkowski, Treasurer of The Haiku Foundation, is chairperson of the Budget & Finance Committee. He is an international pilot with a major U.S. air carrier. He served two terms as Treasurer for the Haiku Society of America, and has had previous financial experience in managing a minor-league tennis association.
	Garry Eaton is our Digital Librarian, focusing on archiving and organization. Garry made his career in another field, but has strong interest in helping the haiku world preserve its greatest provenance, the work great and small produced by its poets.
	Bruce Feingold, who chairs the Touchstone Awards Committee, is a psychologist practicing in the San Francisco area. He lives in Berkeley, California.
	Jim Kacian, besides serving as President of The Haiku Foundation, chairs the Publications Committee as well as the Archives Committee.
	Jeannie Martin has been writing haiku since the late 1990s when she joined the Boston Haiku Society. She teaches haiku in a variety of community settings including the Cambridge Center for Adult Education, senior centers, nursing homes, and in a prison where she does haiku with men serving life sentences. She also leads haiku retreats in places like Oklahoma, North Carolina, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. She is most invested in bringing haiku to marginalized populations, and is currently working with formerly homeless older men in Boston.
	Stella Pierides manages the Per Diem Daily Haiku feature on The Haiku Foundation website, as well as serving as a member of the board of directors. She has published fiction as well as poetry, and divides her time between her home in Neusaess, Germany, and London.
