Board of Trustees

 

日耳曼学院的董事会是学校的管理机构,是学校行政领导的专门合作伙伴. 它负责制定与学院运作相一致的政策目标,并促进学院的使命和文明承诺. The Board provides fiduciary oversight and stewardship of the Academy, appoints and oversees the Head of School, and engages in and supports long-range strategic planning.

The GA Board of Trustees Executive Committee is chaired by the President of the Board. The Executive Committee consists of the Committee Chairs, Officers, and ad hoc trustees (if so invited by the Board President), all of whom are nominated by the Board President and elected by the Board annually.

校董会由不超过33名成员组成,他们是根据学校章程选举产生的志愿者. Trustees are invited to serve for a three-year term with a limit of three terms, with a then required one-year roll-off.  At the end of each 3-year term, 理事会主席和治理主席与每个受托人交谈,以确保双方都同意另一个任期.

执行局每年通常举行四次定期会议,并举行一次夏季静修会,就更深入的政策和战略规划进行讨论. In addition, Trustees serve on standing committees, to include: Governance, Executive, Finance, Investment, Audit, Facilities and Development and Communications. In any given year, task forces may be created to address other strategic issues (i.e. Strategic Vision, Program & Property Planning, and Marketing). 根据章程,执行、审计和治理成员只能由受托人组成.

Trustees are nominated to the Board through the Governance Committee, which is responsible for facilitating Board leadership and succession planning. 该委员会征求并欢迎来自现任受托人和学校所有选区的建议.  管治委员会负责就策略提出建议,并就如何保持多元化向董事会提供意见, balanced representation among its membership. In order to ensure a vast array of backgrounds, experiences and skillsets, 治理委员会使用受托人矩阵,其中包括每个受托人的当前技能和经验概况,用于董事会的组成和分析.  如果董事会和/或特定委员会表示需要特定背景或技能, 然后由治理委员会讨论,并可能添加到矩阵和/或潜在提名人的讨论中. For example, if there is a determined need for an individual in the medical/health care field, such will be used as a criterion when reviewing recommendations for Board nomination.

值得注意的是,管理人员和教师都是各自教育/十大体育外围平台排名领域的专家, 董事会作为一个支持性的咨询团队,协助和合作,推动学校走向我们共同的未来.

Finally, the majority of Trustees are alumni/ae, parents of alumni/ae, current parents, or some combination of these. 受托人对GA有着真诚的热爱,并致力于履行体育外围app网站和文明承诺,使GA成为最好的独立学校.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the Board of Trustees, please do not hesitate to contact the current Board President.
