ISLA Seeks Candidates for Board of Directors
The International Spanish Language Academy (ISLA), a K-6 Spanish Immersion and International Baccalaureate PYP Candidate charter school, seeks candidates to serve on its Board of Directors.  We are looking for interested community members, teachers, and parents to fill several upcoming vacancies for 3 year terms, and at least one vacancy for a one year term, beginning June 30, 2012. 
This year, ISLA is particularly seeking Board candidates with experience in:
·         Finance or accounting
·         Human resources
·         Public school or other public entity governance. 
·         Public relations and marketing
Questions about these vacancies may be directed to the Board of Directors Nominating Committee by contacting Brenna Backstrand at brenna@dirkback.com or Kristin Woebke at kwoebke@yahoo.com. 
As a charter school, ISLA’s Board of Directors operates as its own school district.  The Board is responsible for overseeing the general operations of the school, implementing policies and procedures, as well as long term financial planning. 
There are a number of different committees that Board members can choose to serve on, including finance, human resources, governance and marketing.
If you are interested in applying for a Board seat, please submit a Statement of Interest and Background Check authorization form to the Nominations Committee by February 15, 2012.  These forms are located on the home page of the school’s website (www.islacad.org).  Candidates for election will be posted on the school’s website in early April, 2011, and the election for Board seats will occur on May 15, 2012, at the regularly scheduled meeting of the ISLA Board.

We are also seeking non-Board members to serve on some of the committees of the Board, including the finance, human resources and marketing committees.  If you have an interest in serving ISLA in this way, please contact Board Chair Eric Peterson at eric.peterson@islacad.org or Governance Committee chair Mark Mathison at mark.mathison@islacad.org.
