Dr. Lisette Goodloe presented the MOU, describing CEF as an independent nonprofit organized under Texas business law and recognized as a 501(c)(3).

Trustee Amanda Jones said her time as a foundation board member had shown that the foundation's work is increasingly important during fiscal challenges; Trustee Tim Hennessy thanked foundation representatives for regular updates at board meetings. The motion to approve the MOU carried 7-0.
