Larry Colton

Larry is a fourth generation San Franciscan who spent the majority of his life in the Bay Area. His business life centered around meeting the risk management and insurance needs of non-profits and high-net-worth individuals throughout the country. His board involvement has primarily focused on the education, social services, environmental, social impact and healthcare sectors. He currently serves on the Eisenhower Medical Center Board of Directors, the Eisenhower Foundation, and the Caravanserai Project. He has a BA in communications from University of California, Berkeley. He and his husband, John, split their time between Santa Fe, Rancho Mirage, and Laguna Beach.

Ed Gale

Ed has been in Santa Fe since 2000 and is married to Maria Gale and they have two teenage children. He attended Mesa State College in Grand Junction, CO, where he received his BA in selected studies, then the University of Northern Colorado for graduate studies in literature, and Southwestern College, where he earned his MA in counseling. Ed spent nearly 20 years in Minnesota, where he lived on and operated a family farm in the city of Minnetrista. While there, Ed served on the planning commission and was elected to two terms as a city councilor and one term as mayor. He served as chairman of the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, which reviewed, developed, and implemented park and trail master plans for the 50,000-acre regional park system in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. From 2004 to 2012, Ed was in private practice as a licensed mental health counselor in Santa Fe. Currently, Ed serves as president of the Gale Family Foundation, director of Superior Mineral Resources, LLC, and president of Gale Mineral Resources, LLC. He also serves on the boards of Santa Fe Prep and the Greenwood School in Putney, Vermont (through June 2021).
