As a nonprofit organization, HWS is governed by a Board of Trustees. The chief responsibilities of the Board of Trustees are to establish, safeguard and perpetuate the mission and values of the school; to hire, support and evaluate the Administrative Director; and to ensure effective financial management, appropriate policies and procedures, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and sound risk management policies. The Board further supports the school’s viability and growth through future-focused strategic planning. The day-to-day operations of the School are led by the Administrative Director.
We recruit new members to the HWS Board on a rolling basis and seek to continually balance professional skills, backgrounds and experiences, community connections, resources, anthroposophic knowledge and interest among our members. As we are in the midst of campus expansion, we are especially seeking members who have personal and professional experience with land use planning, construction, building and permitting processes, fundraising and have enthusiasm for the project.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the HWS Board of Trustees, we invite and encourage you to join one of our Board Committees as a prerequisite to joining the Board of Trustees. Our committees are Advancement, Campus Development, Finance, Governance, and Hui Aloha. Please send inquiries to Alyse Parker at alysemparker@gmail.com
