| Becoming a Board
Member
The Glen Montessori School is a non-profit organization that
is guided in its strategic direction by a parent-led Board of Directors.
The composition of the Board is designed to have representation
from parents of our alumnae and current student body, as well as
to encourage participation from representatives from our local community.
There is a standing invitation for interested individuals to
submit their nomination for consideration at any time during the
year. The Board considers new applications in the fall with the
expectation that a vote will be held at the December Board meeting.
New Board members begin serving their term at the January meeting
after having been voted to serve on the Board.
Currently, the Board offers 1, 2 and 3 year terms. The different
terms were designed to ensure continuity of membership and also
create opportunities for new members to serve on the Board. The
Board can have between five and nine voting members at any given
time and each year there are at least one or two positions that
become available.
We encourage any and all persons who might be interested in serving
on the Board to submit a Nomination Form. The most important quality
for any potential Board member to possess is the willingness to
devote a small amount of time each month (5-10 hours) to the school.
We especially encourage Nomination Forms from those parents who
possess the desire to volunteer but are unable to do so during normal
school hours.
The Glen Montessori School has always prided itself on having
a high percentage of parent involvement in its activities. Serving
on the Board is just another means by which The Glen offers its
parent community the opportunity to help evolve the institution
that is nurturing their children.
