It is imperative that capable and committed Catholics stand for election to an Education Committee.  It is important that they reflect a wide skill set willing to take on the many needs of a committee – in the areas of finance and administration, human resources, policy, repairs and maintenance, fundraising, in organizing people for parent participation and those who recognize the importance of team play and confidentiality.
