Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the long range strategic planning for the future of Shining Mountain Waldorf School, overseeing the budget and financial operations of the school, campus development, and school director hire and performance review. The Board is led by the officers who make up the Executive Committee, including Board President, Vice President, Board Treasurer, Board Secretary, the Campus Development Committee Chair, and the School Director.
There are also a number of subcommittees of the Board of Trustees. All subcommittees are open to community participation and include at least one Trustee. Community members are welcome to reach out directly to Trustees and Committee Chairs with questions or thoughts. We invite and encourage you to consider joining the work of the school by participating on a committee. Participation on a subcommittee is a prerequisite for joining the Board of Trustees. Board committees include: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity, Development, Sustainability, Finance, Marketing, and Campus Development.
