Please join us to learn more about how to create and sustain effective parish-school partnerships.

Join us for an interactive panel discussion about board chair tenure and education that will provide key strategies and resources.
Early childhood programs that exist in relationship to an Episcopal parish or other church entity have distinctive governance structures, whereby the vestry delegates to a school board—through bylaws—the governance of the school. Who should sit on the school board? How might they be selected? What authority is reserved by the vestry and what authority is delegated to the school board? When and by whom should bylaws be changed? NAES will offer an overview of common practices and current trends.
