The Board of Managers composed of 25 clergy: the Bishop, a representative from the Bishop’s cabinet, a representative of connectional ministries, and 20 at-large members of each conference. The board meets regularly to plan and manage the school, working on the current year’s school as well as schools for the coming 2 to 3 years. If you are interested in serving on the board, you are invited to contact Donald Mathis, Vice Chair of the Board, who is responsible for the nominations process.
The school is funded primarily by tuition fees paid each year. Both conferences have also supported the school either by budget or endowment.
