Board of Directors

Providing Sound Direction

“The FIS Board of Directors represents an effective balance between the interests of the major sponsoring companies and the parent community. The Board benefits from the fact that its members represent key competencies: Board members have broad experience in legal affairs, financial management, HR, communications and marketing. Continuity is built into both the financial and strategic plans. The organizational structure allows for effective implementation and monitoring of school targets.” (From NEASC Accreditation Report, October 2015)
