The Lake Washington Schools Foundation Board of Trustees is a passionate group of energetic volunteers. Our dedication to public education has brought us together to raise over $2 million since 2005, supporting opportunities for academic excellence and success for all students in the Lake Washington School District.

This year we are expanding our board to 15 trustees. If you share our passion for public education, academic excellence and success for all students, we’re looking for you. Help us continue investing in district-wide academic programs, which provide equal access for all – preparing students for success in academics and in life.

Ideal candidates will have PTSA leadership and nonprofit board experience, a history of volunteer experience in our schools (or in schools where you have lived previously) and the time and energy to contribute to a growing nonprofit organization. We value diversity in all its forms, but especially in background, experience, expertise and approaches to problem solving.

The board of trustees is responsible for ensuring that the Foundation does the best work possible in pursuit of its goals. We make decisions on policies, allocate funds, observe our grants in action and work to share our story throughout the community.

Each trustee is expected to participate on at least one board or operating committee. A trustee term is three years, renewable for successive terms. The board of trustees meets from 6:30-8:30 p.m. the third Thursday of each month, except July.
