The NAIS Board of Trustees, currently composed of 16 individuals, addresses its fiduciary, strategic, and generative duties, led by the officers and the Executive Committee. The full board meets three times a year: in November, in late February or early March, and again in June. Board members serve three-year terms that begin at the Annual Meeting of Members in late February or early March.
The National Association of Independent Schools’ Board of Trustees is seeking nominations of individuals to serve on the board. NAIS trustees are champions of independent education who help ensure that the association serves member schools well. Trustees serve three-year terms that begin in March.
The Governance Committee of the board is seeking nominations of heads of independent schools, leaders in higher education, and CEOs of education organizations who are working on the biggest issues facing NAIS member schools today, such as pioneering innovative approaches to education, fostering inclusive and cohesive communities, addressing workforce challenges, and creating sustainable financial models.
We are committed to creating an inclusive board and particularly encourage the nomination of members of historically underrepresented and marginalized groups. The committee will consider factors such as school/organization type, size, and geographic region.
