Application deadline extended for Granville Education Foundation new board members
The Granville Education Foundation (GEF) is seeking two community members to join its Board of Trustees. Applicants must live within the boundaries of the Granville Exempted Village School District. Anyone interested in serving on the board is encouraged to send a cover letter and resume to granvilleeducationfoundation@gmail.com by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 29, 2022.
GEF was founded in 1993 for the main purpose of funding teachers’ innovative educational projects that enhance classroom instruction not covered by the school district's financial resources. In addition, GEF provides scholarships to graduating seniors and coordinates the annual Jody VanTine Outstanding Educator Award given every August.
GEF is composed of volunteer trustees who commit their time for a term of three years. Board meetings are held in the evenings on the third Thursday of the month at the school district office. As a working board, trustees are asked to serve on at least two sub-committees that meet on an as-needed basis: Finance, Grants, PR/Marketing/Development, Events, Scholarship, Concessions and The Jody VanTine Outstanding Educator Award. Trustees also are involved in supporting fundraising efforts and hosting an annual Blue, White, & Boom All-Alumni Reunion during Granville's Fourth of July festivities.
Current GEF Board of Trustees are Aimee Sanders (President), Chris Montgomery (Vice President), James Mattimoe (Treasurer), Alex Lamson (Secretary), Olivia Biggs, Liz Cook, Casey Curtis, Lee Heckman, Melanie Kohlheim, Justin Martin, Amanda Morrison, Renee Mortimer, Cookie Sunkle, Debbie Thomas, Courtney Van Ostran, Ceciel Shaw (School Board Representative), Jeff Brown (Permanent Member) and Ryan Bernath (Advisor).
