Board Committees
Board Committees
HKIS Board Committees are comprised of Board members, administrators and community members (marked with *) who are invited to serve on select committees. The Chair of the Board and the Head of School are ex-officio members of all committees.
Committee on Trustees
The Committee on Trustees makes recommendations to the Board concerning the composition of the Board—identifying, recruiting and proposing new trustees. In addition, this committee coordinates the identification, recruitment and selection of Board committee members in consultation with the Board chair, the Head of School, and the relevant Board committee chairs. Finally, the Committee on Trustees facilitates the Board’s self-assessment, its plans for leadership succession, and the professional development of trustees through orientation, training, and on-going education.
