The Hopkins Education Foundation
Board of Directors

We currently have 21 board members and will be adding more this year. We are looking for people who care about the Hopkins Public Schools, want to give back and make a difference for all of our students and have time to serve. Board members serve for 3 years. Monthly meetings are usually on the second Wednesday of the month from 7-8:30 pm. We also ask all board members to serve on a board committee (Grants, Awesome Fund, Communications, Finance, Personnel & Board Development, Events and Development & Fundraising).

We are looking for people who have time to give, people who represent the diversity of the school district, and who have fundraising, event, business, marketing, technology, human resources, or other relevant experience.
