Sally Bowles has a long and distinguished record of achievement in public service. Currently, Ms. Bowles sits on the Board of Directors of the Charles and Helen Schwab Foundation, a San Mateo, California-based private charitable organization whose Learning Disabilities program provides resources and direct services to children with learning difficulties and their parents.

Most recently, Ms. Bowles helped to establish and served as president of the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, a $115 million family foundation that funds programs in learning differences, arts and the environment.
