Leadership Team
Since 2017, Inward Bound has been engaged in shifting our organizational structure from a typical hierarchical, top-down power structure to a Collaborative Leadership System built upon shared decision-making, intentional feedback, and transparency. This system also extends to a network of committees and the Board, that work with the staff to lead the organization.
Staff Leadership
Staff leadership holds responsibility for day-to-day functioning of the organization and achieving long-term strategic goals. They work collaboratively with the Board of Directors and are informed by and receive feedback from Inward Bound’s Advisory Committees.
Board of Directors
Inward Bound’s board fulfills the legal roles and responsibilities of operating a nonprofit organization and are responsible for maintaining a big picture, systems perspective. They represent our larger community, including teachers, individuals with a DEIA focus, and others who support Inward Bound.
Guiding Teachers Committee
The GTC holds responsibility for setting qualifications and evaluations for Inward Bound teachers, approving new teachers according to an established approval process, supporting the development and mentoring of Inward Bound teachers, and resolving any code of ethics issues as they arise.
Advisors
Inward Bound advisors are leaders in the fields of mindfulness, education, nonprofit management, and business. Many advisors have been connected to Inward Bound since our founding. We are grateful to have such a significant source of wisdom available to us.
