Board of Trustees
We are grateful to our Trustees who give freely of their time and experience to help ensure MA is continually innovating while fulfilling its mission to students, families, and the community.
The Board plans for the future of the school, and ensures that Marin Academy has financial and leadership resources to achieve its strategic plans. The Board is composed of representatives of the Marin Academy community and other community leaders who bring specific skills and perspectives to the deliberations involved in setting strategic policy and planning for Marin Academy. Board members do not serve to represent particular agendas or factions, nor does the Board have any involvement in the day-to-day operations of the School.

Voices of MA
"I have also thought in recent years how amazing it was that more than twenty years before it became commonplace, MA had its first Director of Diversity and Inclusion—wow, that is impressive! MA had a lot of foresight in this area which I think speaks to why I was drawn to it."
—Brighid Dwyer '97, Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion, Princeton University
