Founding Members
The Board.
The Trooper Eric Workman Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity led by a volunteer board — Eric’s family, brother officers from the West Virginia State Police, and the friends who knew him best on the water.
A Volunteer Board
Five classes. One mission.
Founding members are recognized in five honor classes — drawn from Eric’s family, his command at the West Virginia State Police, the troopers who served beside him, the friends who answered the call to action, and the coaches who shaped the young man he became.
