Bronxville School Foundation Seeking Nominations for Board Vacancies

BRONXVILLE, NY — The Bronxville School Foundation will accept nominations through Jan., 30, 2017, to fill open positions on its Board of Directors for the upcoming year. Candidates should be village residents who would work with current board members to raise funds and support grants that will enhance educational programs in the Bronxville School district.

Senior citizens, parents of alumni and community members without children are encouraged to express interest. The directors reflect a broad and diverse cross-section of the community.

The Foundation was established as a nonprofit in 1991 by the Trustees of the Bronxville School Board of Education, citizens of the community, and supporters of the school who understood that raising private funds from school families and village residents to supplement the District’s budget was important to maintaining a top-notch school district. The Foundation’s Board of Directors consists of 30 people, including one member of the Board of Education, the Superintendent of Schools and the Vice President of the PTA.

The Foundation Nominating Committee’s primary role is to identify motivated, hard-working leaders for possible nomination to the Bronxville School Foundation. The Committee considers recommendations from within the board itself as well as from individuals who express interest through the Foundation office.

To express your interest, propose candidates or learn more about the Foundation, please contact Executive Director Peggy Williams, at 914-395-0515 or via email at pwilliams@bronxvilleschool.org.

Written correspondence should be forwarded to her attention at The Bronxville School Foundation, 177 Pondfield Road, Bronxville, New York, 10708 and include specific information about involvement in the community and the school. Other details regarding background or relevant experience should also be included.
