CISPA is a hands-on organisation that welcomes people with energy, commitment and a can-do attitude.
What does a CISPA Director do?
1. Chair a Committee. Directors are responsible for the activities and/or events of the Committee, and ensure they are delivered in an organised and timely manner. See our Committee Page for more details. (Please note that the decision as to who leads any given Committee is made internally among incoming Directors.)
2. Attend and participate in monthly board meetings. The CISPA Board of Directors meets monthly when school is in session to discuss CISPA activities and events. From time to time, the Head of School, Principals and/or various members of staff join CISPA meetings to discuss school matters or other related business.
3. Support CISPA-led events. Directors attend and support major CISPA-led initiatives such as the Family Fun Fair, Chinese New Year Fair, and Staff Appreciation events.
4. Represent CISPA at CDNIS events. Directors are often invited to attend and represent CISPA at school events, including New Parent Welcome Events, Curriculum Nights, and Open Houses. These tasks are typically shared, so not all Directors have to attend all school events.
Being a Director on CISPA is great role for those with a sincere desire to build community, contribute to school life, and work as team with other like-minded CDNIS parents.
