Governance

Sweetwater Episcopal Academy is governed by an independent Board of Trustees made up of 15 members. Members consist of the Rector, Head of School, Vestry Representatives, ECR Parish Representatives, Parents Club President and Members at Large. Members are nominated and elected by the Board who strive for a committed, diverse group of individuals. Board members serve on a variety of committees including Finance, Marketing and Development, Buildings and Grounds & Strategic Planning.

 

The Board’s Role

The Board is charged with ensuring the long-term, mission-based, sustainable success and viability of the school. As such, it is concerned with the needs of the school over several generations; therefore, its focus is setting the strategic direction of the school. The Board does not manage the day-to-day or tactical operations of the school. The Board hires a School Head who delegates the day-to-day managerial responsibility within the general parameters and principles that it has established. The Board meets regularly to set policy and to monitor progress of the school’s strategic plan.
