The Garinger Education Foundation Board of Directors is an all volunteer board comprised of Garinger alumni, Garinger faculty, and community friends. Board members should share a passion for the GEF’s mission and be willing to contribute their gifts, time, and talents. Board meetings are held quarterly on the Garinger campus. The majority of the work is completed in committees, which meet at the discretion of the committee chairs. New members are added in November.

Experience in the following areas is most helpful: financial/accounting, marketing, development/fundraising, web page development/management, social media, education, scholarship administration, strategic planning, organizational skills, event planning.
