about us : board of directors & board of overseers
Board of Directors
The 21st Century Fund is governed by its board of Directors, a body made up of volunteers from the community and representatives of important constituent groups. Several members of the board are BHS alumni themselves and many more are parents of current or former students.
The board is responsible for effective oversight of the 21st Century Fund's program development and evaluation, budgeting and fundraising, and the overall operation and good health of the organization. Individuals elected to the board serve three-year terms. The board meets six times a year but most directors also serve on at least one committee.
