Trustees.

At the last Bagels with Jack and Bill, several parents expressed a strong commitment to Kadima and a desire to understand where the school's general direction, and presumably influence that direction.

This is precisely what Trustees do. In addition to exercising general financial oversight--the Board is the group that ultimately bears fiduciary responsibility for the school--the Board tackles strategic issues such as determining the Mission and Core Beliefs of the school, and then spends the rest of the time providing resources--through fundraising and donations--to enable the Head of School to implement the Board's vision.

Ultimately, the fundamental responsibility of the Board is to think strategically: as Trustees, our goal is to take necessary actions to ensure the school's survival into the future. The best example of what the Board does is this: the Board asks, "do we need a new library, and if so, how can we fund it?" The Board does not ask, "We heard there was an argument in the library last Thursday, what happened?"

If you are strategic thinker and share a commitment to ensuring that there remains a place where students can obtain the finest in General and Jewish education, then please consider joining our Board and becoming a Kadima Trustee.
