BOARD

The role of the Board of Directors is to provide leadership and oversight of the activities of the School. The Board insures that the school operates with transparency and is active and forthright in its external communications.

Our volunteer Board of Directors is what one would consider a working board. On average Board Members donate 2–4 hours a week of their time. Our Board consists of both parent and community members. We survey our Board Members for their strengths that they bring to our organization and when a vacancy appears, we look for where the gaps are in our Board composition.

A Commitment to Transparency

Fiddlehead’s Board is committed to transparency to ensure clarity, trust, and accountability. This commitment involves proactively communicating with all stakeholders about Fiddlehead’s performance, strategy, and overall learnings. The board adheres to best practices by providing timely, accurate financial and non-financial disclosures that go beyond minimum regulatory requirements.
