About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice Chairperson to join its Board of Directors. The successful candidate will work closely with the Chairperson and Executive Director to provide strategic leadership and governance oversight, with a focus on reinvigorating the institution's mission and vision. This voluntary role is ideal for a forward-thinking leader with a genuine passion for early childhood education, solid board experience, and a commitment to the values of the organization. Key responsibilities include championing the school's mission, serving as an ambassador with various stakeholders, and supporting leadership continuity and succession planning. The Vice Chairperson will also be involved in the school's 60th-anniversary milestone, using it as an opportunity for community engagement and mission renewal. Applicants for the Vice Chairperson position at the company should have a demonstrated background in serving on a nonprofit or organizational board in a leadership capacity. The role requires a visionary and forward-thinking orientation, strong facilitation, communication, and interpersonal skills, and a commitment to equity and access in education. Financial literacy and the ability to engage with nonprofit budgets and long-term planning are essential. While not mandatory, familiarity with accreditation standards, compliance frameworks, or educational policy is a plus. The ideal candidate will be prepared to uphold the legal and ethical integrity of the organization, actively participate in board meetings, and ensure compliance with nonprofit laws and governing documents.
