BOARD OF DIRECTORS SEEKS NOMINATIONS FOR NEW MEMBERS
The Board is seeking to fill upcoming vacancies; new terms will begin on July 1, 2010. To expand the Foote School community’s participation in the important task of identifying potential Board members, I encourage you to nominate for service on the Foote School Board of Directors individuals – alumni/ae, friends of the school, parents, and grandparents – who are eager to contribute to the school through Board membership and who reflect Foote’s commitment to a diverse community that values participation and engagement.
Please click here to learn more about the duties and expectations of board members, as well as to download a link to a short nomination form. Nominations are due by Wed., Jan. 27. Self-nominations are welcome.
