Matt Paquette

2019 - 2020 Board Chair

Matt grew up in Chicago and attended The University of Kansas, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. After graduation, he worked in the financial services audit department at Ernst & Young. This experience was invaluable, but he knew from an early age that his calling was working directly with clients as a financial advisor.  Matt is married to his wife, Amy, and they have lived in Manhattan since 1999. our three children love growing up in this community. Outside work, they enjoy volunteering through local organizations like the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation. 

On our podcast,  We chatted about his year as board chair, his personal and professional involvement with the foundation, and his adaptability during the initial months of the pandemic.
