EEF Committees help to fulfill our mission to provide exceptional learning experiences. Membership on these committees are NOT restricted to members of the EEF Board. 

If interested in serving on a committee, please contact Ellen Williams, Executive Director.

Advancement Committee
The role of the Advancement Committee is to ensure that the organization’s total development program is in concert with the organization’s strategic direction and needs. The committee serves as the mechanism by which board members and other volunteers are involved in the fundraising process.

The advancement committee is charged with focusing the organization and its board on fundraising. This includes constant attention to the strength of the mission and case for support, the organization’s accountability, the involvement of constituencies with the institution, the resources required to carry out the mission, plans for cultivating and soliciting the needed private funds, fundraising involvement, and demonstration of good stewardship.

The finance committee is responsible for assisting the board in ensuring the organization is in good fiscal health. The work of the committee revolves around the following six major areas:

• Ensure that accurate and complete financial records are maintained.
