- All School
June 30 marked the end of Amelia Wyant’s four-year tenure as Board President. A strong Head/Board President relationship is critical to the overall success of a school, and I could not have asked for a better partnership to help make the transition a smooth one. The new Board President is Kristin Giffin, parent of two Indy alums, who has had a long-standing relationship with the school. Kristin most recently served as the Board’s Vice President.
A critical component of healthy governance is an ongoing review of the skills and composition of the board and ensuring they reflect the needs and make-up of the school community. In that spirit, I am pleased to share that Ping Xu, parent of a rising 6th grader, and Michael Marinelli, Head of Archmere Academy, have recently joined the Board of Trustees. Further, former Independence Head of School Vicky Yatzus is now a member of our Advisory Board.
I’d like to take a moment and thank Rachel Wood and TJ Hanna, who have rolled off of the Board. We are grateful for their important contributions over their years of trusteeship.
I look forward to working with and learning from Vicky, Ping, and Michael and am grateful for the Board’s continued leadership and partnership.
In partnership,
Tim Costello
