OUR BOARD

Bob Ravasio moved to Corte Madera 30 years ago with his wife Pat, and they
raised their three daughters here. He recently ccmpleted a 16 year run on the
Town Council, and served as Mayor twice. He and Pat have been very
involved in the community, in both town and school roles- in fact Pat is now
a Council Member! Among his many other leadership positions, Bob has
been Chair of the Central Marin Police Council and the Central Marin
Fire Council.

Bob has been on the Corte Madera Community Foundation Board since 2006
and has served as President multiple times. He works as a Realtor for
Coldwell Banker, when he is not working on community initiatives.

After graduating from the University of Tennessee Medical School in 1970, I headed west and completed my residency at Kaiser Hospital in San Francisco. I practiced Emergency Medicine there until retiring in 2010.

As a 45 year resident of Corte Madera, I have enjoyed being involved in the community, first as our representative on the Ross Valley Paramedic Board and later on our Flood Board and our Planning Commission.

I am also a long-time member of the Lions Club and the Beautification Committee. However, I am most proud of my involvement with the Foundation and what we have accomplished over the years.
