Experience: Cecilia Guthrie Boone is the president of the Boone Family Foundation in Dallas, Texas. The Boone Family Foundation focuses its grant making in three areas: gender equity, environmental issues, and children in at-risk situations. An active volunteer and philanthropist, Boone has focused her work on issues that most impact the lives of women and girls. She is the past chair of the Dallas Women's Foundation, Girls Inc. of Metropolitan Dallas, Planned Parenthood of North Texas, Planned Parenthood of North Texas Action Fund, and Annie's List, a PAC that recruits, trains, and funds progressive female candidates running for state-wide office in Texas. Currently she is the fundraising chair of the Dallas Women's Foundation thirty million dollar-campaign. She is a member of the national Planned Parenthood Federation of America board and the international Women's Funding Network Board. In Dallas, she is on the KERA Board, the Parkland Hospital Foundation Steering Committee, and the Southwestern Medical Foundation Board. Additionally, she is an adjunct faculty member at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. She and her husband Garrett, co-founder of The Container Store, have three adult children who in the opinion of their parents are scattered too broadly around the country. In her next life, Boone hopes to do more reading and quilting.
