Community, Innovation, and Impact: Welcoming New Board Members in 2026
At All May See Foundation, our work is made possible by an extraordinary community of leaders, advocates, and innovators who share a commitment to advancing vision research and patient care at UCSF.
In 2026, we are proud to welcome three new members to our Board of Directors. Their diverse experiences, spanning personal advocacy, scientific innovation, and philanthropic leadership, strengthen our mission and expand our impact.
Jordanna Howard
Vice President of Client Services, Veritas Media Group
Jordanna Howard has spent more than 25 years shaping the advertising and marketing landscape in the Bay Area. Her professional expertise includes leading media efforts for major campaigns, including work with UCSF Health and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.
But it is her personal journey that has forged a profound connection to UCSF’s vision programs.
After a long path to motherhood, Jordanna welcomed her daughter in 2018. Just months later, her daughter was diagnosed with bilateral spontaneous retinoblastoma, a rare and life-threatening eye cancer. Under the care of Armin Afshar, MD, MBA, MAS, and his team at UCSF, her daughter received life-saving treatment and is now a thriving six-year-old kindergartener.
During long stretches at the hospital, Jordanna transformed a moment of uncertainty into one of purpose by organizing her daughter’s first birthday as a fundraiser for UCSF Vision. Since then, her family has raised thousands of dollars to support UCSF Opthalmology retinoblastoma research and care, honoring her daughter Mackenzie and helping other families facing similar challenges.
Today, Jordanna continues to give back as a mentor, community leader, and advocate, balancing her professional life with family, volunteering, and life in Napa.
Dan Schwartz, MD
Professor Emeritus, UCSF; Director of the Retina Service,
San Francisco VA Medical Center
A pioneer in ophthalmic innovation, Dr. Schwartz has dedicated his career to advancing technologies that transform how eye diseases are diagnosed and treated.
He received his medical degree from UCSF, completed his internship at Los Angeles County, and trained in ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He went on to complete fellowships in vitreoretinal surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin and in medical retina and ultrasound at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
Over the past 25 years, Dr. Schwartz has collaborated with leading scientists at Caltech to develop transformative technologies and therapies. In partnership with the late Nobel laureate Robert Grubbs, Julie Kornfield, and colleagues, he helped develop the Light Adjustable Lens, the first intraocular lens that can be customized non-invasively after cataract surgery using light. This technology is now FDA approved and commercialized by RxSight and represents a major advance in precision vision correction.
In collaboration with Scott Fraser and colleagues, Dr. Schwartz also helped develop optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), the first non-invasive technology capable of imaging retinal and choroidal blood flow. Today, OCTA is widely used around the world to diagnose and manage conditions including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal vascular diseases.
Continuing his commitment to innovation, Dr. Schwartz is co-founder of a biotechnology company, NVasc, developing a novel approach to treating ischemic diseases of the retina, helping to advance the next generation of therapies from concept to clinical care.
Shanna Frati
Consultant and Community Volunteer
With more than two decades of experience in technology, consulting, and corporate philanthropy, Shanna Frati has built a career centered on driving meaningful impact.
During her time at Salesforce, including roles within the Salesforce Foundation and the Office of the Chairman and CEO, Shanna helped lead transformative philanthropic initiatives. She played a key role in the strategic partnership with UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, helping raise more than $100 million to support pediatric care and research.
She also contributed to the global expansion of Pledge 1%, a movement that has inspired companies worldwide to integrate giving into their business models.
Today, as a consultant and community volunteer, Shanna continues to dedicate her time and expertise to organizations that create lasting change. She serves on advisory and parent leadership boards and remains deeply engaged in advancing opportunities for young people and communities in need.
Strengthening the Future of Vision
As new members of the Board of Directors in 2026, Jordanna Howard, Dan Schwartz, MD, and Shanna Frati bring invaluable perspective, leadership, and passion to All May See Foundation.
Their collective experience reflects the power of community and collaboration, fueling the innovation, research, and patient care that define UCSF Ophthalmology and the Francis I. Proctor Foundation.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jordanna, Dan, and Shanna to our Board of Directors,” said Deborah Chesky. “Each brings a unique perspective and deep commitment to our mission. Their leadership and passion will help us continue to accelerate vision research, expand access to care, and ensure that the groundbreaking work at UCSF Ophthalmology and the Proctor Foundation reaches patients who need it most.”
Together, they join a dedicated group of leaders working to advance a future where vision care is more effective, more accessible, and more equitable for all.
