What is the primary role of the Brebeuf Jesuit Trustees?
The primary role of the Brebeuf Jesuit Trustees is to develop and positively promote the Jesuit mission of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School. As the governing and policymaking body of the school, the Trustees:
- Articulate and monitor the Brebeuf Jesuit Strategic Plan
- Select, support, and evaluate the Brebeuf Jesuit President
- Establish and maintain a solid financial foundation for the school.
How does an individual become a Brebeuf Jesuit Trustee?Trustees are identified and selected through a process managed by the Governance Committee. This process, handled confidentially and done annually, begins in the fall of the year and is based upon awareness of the competencies, skills and experiences of current trustees. The Governance Committee identifies individuals who match the needed competencies and makes recommendations to the Trustee Executive Committee. Members are elected for a three-year term (renewable once) at the Trustee annual meeting in May.
How do names of potential Brebeuf Jesuit Trustees surface?Any current Trustee can suggest an individual for nomination to the Trustees. In addition, individuals can make their desire known to be nominated as a Trustee through a letter of interest and resume sent to governance@brebeuf.org. In order to be in synchronization with the annual process, such letters of interest/resume should be sent no later than October 15.
