The Libra Future Fund (LFF) is run by Erik Hayward, Julie Feltis, Melissa Duron and Sean Dugan. All of the four directors are younger than thirty-five years old. While some might view the youth of the LFF Board as problematic, we at the Future Fund believe that our youth affords us the ability to relate more closely to our applicants. This ability to relate to our potential associates, we believe, will help to render us a more potent institution.

Erik Hayward graduated from Yale University in 2004 with a B.A. in Economics. A former member of the Yale Sailing Team, Erik continues to sail both competitively and recreationally along the coast of Maine. In addition to his positions as President of LFF and Vice President at Libra Foundation, Erik is a Trustee of The Park Danforth and a member of the Yale Alumni Schools Committee.
