Bruce Fetter has been selected as the new chairman of the board of Orangewood Children’s Foundation, a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving abused and neglected children in Orange County since 1981.
Fetter, the president and chief operating officer of St. John Knits is only the fourth chairman in Orangewood’s 29-year history. Before him were: General William Lyon (founding chairman, 1981-1993), John Hagestad (1993-2005) and David Ritchie (2005-2010).
Fetter has served on the Orangewood board since 2002. He and his wife Lynn live in Newport Beach.
The Foundation has also added four new members to the board: Kathryn A. Grant (managing director of international and professional marketing at Solta Medical), Greg Marshall (partner at Madison Street Partners, a commercial real estate firm), Mark A. Simons (president and chief executive officer of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.) and J. Chris Walsh (president of Sunwest Bank).
The four bring to the Foundation years of dedication to Orange County’s abused children and proven business savvy. They will each have a three-year term.
