Ivy's Board of Directors is Seeking New Members!

We are excited to invite you to consider applying to join the board of directors at Ivy Academy. Our board plays a vital role in guiding the strategic direction of our school and ensuring the best possible education for our students.

We are currently seeking board of director candidates with expertise in the following areas:

Finance
Facilities (acquisition, build out, financing)
Legal
HR, personnel management
Marketing
Fundraising & Community Relations
Education
Previous governance experience

If you have experience in any of these fields, are passionate about our school, and have 5-10 hours per month to dedicate to our board mission, we encourage you to apply. Your unique skills and perspectives will be invaluable to our board.

If being a board member does not sound like the right fit, but you still want to get more involved in the strategic direction of the school, consider volunteering on one of our committees. Committee meetings take place every other month, so they are a lower time commitment. Ivy Academy's board of director committees are responsible for important objectives, such as fundraising, facilities planning and development, financial accountability and monitoring, media and public relations, and more.

If interested, you can fill out a board member application. If you have questions that aren't answered in the materials available on the website, contact board secretary Evelyn Henderson at ehenderson@ivyacademychattanooga.com.

Thank you for your consideration!
