Mosaic welcomes Chris Burnette as new Board Officer

Chris Burnette

During the last Mosaic Board meeting the Board unanimously voted Chris Burnette into the group of Mosaic Board Officers. Chris is replacing Tanya Southerland who recently had to withdraw from her duties for the organization. He is a Cleveland native and he returned to the area earlier this year from the St. Louis metropolitan area with his wife, Elise, and son, Henry.

Chris Burnette is an attorney and consultant who has worked for many years in the nonprofit and government industries.  He has a bachelors degree in political science from Northern Arizona University, a masters in nonprofit administration and public management from Lindenwood University, and a Juris Doctor degree with a concentration in urban development, land use and environmental law from St. Louis University School of Law.

Given his professional background and his empathy with Mosaic’s mission and vision the entire Board is looking forward to Chris’ expertise and insight as Mosaic is continuing to reorganize for the future. Please join us in welcoming Chris to the organization.
