NAIS Governance

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. 

Voting for NAIS Trustees

At the 2026 Annual Meeting of Members on Thursday, February 26, (as part of Thrive, the NAIS annual conference in Seattle), heads of NAIS member schools will vote on trustees to serve a first term as NAIS board members. Click here to read nominee bios.

If you are attending Thrive, you will be able to vote onsite. We hope you can attend the conference, but if you cannot, please cast your vote by proxy by Friday, February 20. To vote by proxy, refer to an email sent to member heads of school on January 23. If you have questions, please email proxy@nais.org.
