Annual Report - Ecole Bilingue de Berkeley

ANNUAL REPORT 2010–2011
the Chair of the Board of Trustees
With your help, we will continue to promote the exceptional work of our students
and our faculty, so that we can build EB’s reputation in the Bay Area and beyond.
In other school news, “The Campus Campaign – Our Moment” continues
to build momentum. As of this writing, we have raised almost $1.6 million
towards our goal of $2.75 million. Gifts have come from every sector of the EB
community: founders, present and past Trustees, current families, alumni families,
grandparents, faculty and staff. This ongoing generosity brings us closer to our
goal of owning all of our facilities and creating a campus that is worthy of our
academic programs.
Our community’s continued support of other fundraising efforts like the Annual
Fund and the Auction is also remarkable. Thanks to your strong spirit of
philanthropy, we have been able to maintain exceptional programs and innovative
faculty professional development initiatives while offering financial aid to families impacted by the economic
downturn.
The Board’s talent, expertise, dedication, and willingness to build consensus are a tremendous asset to the school. We
are happy to welcome Peter Secor, faculty representative Corinne Pluche, and PA Co-Presidents Tammy Brown and
Juliette Glover to the Board of Trustees, and we look forward to working with them. We would like to extend our
thanks to outgoing Trustees Valérie Bishop, Marie-José Sat and Jacqueline Van Lang.
With such a dedicated community, there’s no end to what we can accomplish for EB and, more importantly, for our
students.
