Board of 受托人
Germantown Academy’s Board of 受托人 is the governing body of the school and is a dedicated partner with the school’s administrative leadership. It is responsible for establishing policy goals that align with the operation of the Academy and further its 任务 and Civility Pledge. The Board provides fiduciary oversight and stewardship of the Academy, appoints and oversees the 校长, and engages in and supports long-range strategic planning.
The GA Board of 受托人 执行 Committee is chaired by the President of the Board. The 执行 Committee consists of the Committee Chairs, 军官, and ad hoc trustees (if so invited by the 董事会主席), all of whom are nominated by the 董事会主席 and elected by the Board annually.
The GA Board of 受托人 is comprised of no more than 33 members who serve as volunteers and are elected in accordance with the by-laws of the school. 受托人 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, the 董事会主席 and Governance Chair talk with each Trustee to ensure another term is mutually agreed upon by both parties.
There are usually four regular meetings of the Board each year along with a Summer Retreat in which more in-depth policy and strategic planning discussions take place. 除了, 受托人 serve on standing committees, to include: Governance, 执行, 金融, 投资, 审计, 设施 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). 执行, 审计 and Governance membership may only be comprised of 受托人, per the by-laws.
受托人 are nominated to the Board through the Governance Committee, which is responsible for facilitating Board leadership and succession planning. This committee solicits and welcomes recommendations from current 受托人 and from all constituencies of the school. The Governance Committee is responsible for recommending strategies and advising the Board on how to maintain a diverse, balanced representation among its membership. In order to ensure a vast array of backgrounds, experiences and skillsets, the Governance Committee utilizes a Trustee Matrix that includes a current profile of skills and experience for each trustee that is used for Board composition and analysis. If the Board and/or a specific Committee expresses the need for a specific background or skillset, then such is discussed by the Governance Committee and potentially added to the matrix and/or discussions of potential nominees. 例如, 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.
It is important to note that the administration and faculty are the experts in their respective areas of education/school life, and that the Board serves as a supportive advisory team to assist and partner to move the school toward our shared future.
最后, the majority of 受托人 are alumni/ae, parents of alumni/ae, 现在的父母, or some combination of these. 受托人 share a genuine love for GA and a dedication to fulfilling our 任务 and Civility Pledge to make GA the best independent school it can be.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the Board of 受托人, please do not hesitate to contact the current 董事会主席.
