Guild Coordinating Council


Guilds Leadership 2026 group photo

Each Guild is its own 501c3, established for the specific purpose of supporting Valley Children's Healthcare. To ensure the Guilds are fully informed about Valley Children's, in 1949, the Coordinating Council was established. Since then, the Council meets quarterly with a representative from each Guild serving as Director of the Council – they are a key liaison in reporting information back to their Guild.
