Head of School Transition Updates
Who We Are
The members of the MPA Board of Trustees are a group of dedicated people who volunteer their time to serve MPA. We are primarily parents of current MPA students, parents of MPA alumni, and MPA alumni. In addition, a member of the faculty, a member of the Parents Association, a member of the Alumni Association, and the current US student council president also serve as trustees. Although these trustees are called representative trustees, their role is to provide valuable faculty, parent, alumni, and student perspectives on the Board, not to advocate for specific interests of the group they represent. The Head of School is a non-voting member of the Board. The primary duty of all trustees is to the school and its mission, and all must put their personal agendas aside when doing Board work.
How to Become A Trustee
The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying new trustee candidates. Nominations are received from current trustees, parents, faculty and administrators. The Governance Committee maintains an on-going list of qualified and interested trustee candidates for consideration. Areas of desired experience include: finance, accounting, investment, banking, business, education, law, governance, strategic planning, development, marketing, community service, and leadership. If you know of someone (including yourself) who would be interested in serving on the MPA Board of Trustees, please contact any member of the Governance Committee or any trustee with your suggestion. Laurie Foss, assistant to the Head of School, also has nomination forms in her office or can send them to you by email.
The names and contact information for all current members of the MPA Board of Trustees are available on the website and in the MPA directory. Please feel free to contact any trustee if you have questions or concerns about board matters.
