SUMMARY
As the largest association of independent schools, the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) provides thought leadership, research, creation and curation of resources, and leadership collaboration to more than 1,950 K-12 schools in the U.S. and abroad. To help us fulfill our mission to “co-create the future of education by uniting and empowering our community,” we are planning to hire a new NAIS vice president, leadership and governance.
Exceptional, sustained leadership — among heads of school, boards of trustees, and school leadership teams — is critical to long-term success for our member schools. NAIS has a long and well-established reputation for supporting current leaders, developing the leadership pipeline, and helping schools strengthen the all-important partnership between heads and their boards through resources, programming, and strategic counsel. These services are core to our membership value. Indeed Leadership & Governance is one of our three organizational centers of excellence, along with Strategy & Innovation and Equity, Inclusion, Well-Being.
Yet as school leadership becomes increasingly complex and demanding, there are myriad opportunities to evolve, deepen, and expand those offerings. We seek a leader who will focus and drive these efforts while also contributing to our overall organizational culture.
LOCATION
This is a remote position that requires a fair amount amount of travel throughout the United States. NAIS is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
