EdTA Board of Directors

Board Role

The EdTA board is a governing board (not a working board). What does a governing board do?

• Sets direction: Reviews EdTA’s mission to ensure that it remains a guidepost, establishes strategic goals and priorities, plans for the future.
• Ensures and protects resources: The board is responsible for protecting financial assets, physical assets, reputation, and image.
• Provides oversight: Ensures policies are in place to evaluate infrastructure, programs, and services.
• Engages in outreach: Understands, interprets, and communicates the diverse needs of the membership. Board directors act as ambassadors and advocates of the mission.

The board is not an honorary post, nor is it involved in day-to-day operations — those are managed solely by the executive director, who is the board’s employee. Board members must be comfortable making strategic and sometimes-difficult decisions that affect the entire membership.

Have a concern or compliment to share with the EdTA board or staff?

In an effort to ensure open lines of communication and transparency, the board of directors has established a way for your voice to be heard. If you have something you’d like to share with the board, we’d like to hear from you. If there are concerns you are facing, we’d like to find the solutions. If something works really well, we’d like to know that, too. We are here to support you and to serve the organization, and this form will ensure that the board hears from you. No submissions will be censored. This form will remain open for the foreseeable future as an additional approach for communicating your needs and concerns to the entire EdTA Board. The board has provided the form below for your feedback.
