Board of Directors

The UTBEF all-volunteer Board of Directors has a strong commitment to serving the school children and educators in our community. Its primary responsibilities are to control property, manage finances, and direct affairs. Our board represents a cross-section of our community and has a passion for educational advocacy. The members work hard to ensure the long-term sustainability of the organization and oversee that the funds raised directly affect those in need of our services. 

Directors are elected annually and serve for three years or until their successors are elected and have been seated. The incoming President may appoint up to four Directors to serve one-year terms. Ex-officio (nonvoting) members may be appointed to serve on the Board.

Who We Are

Share your time and talents as a volunteer or board member.

Fundraisers

Throughout the year, UTBEF partners with community businesses and organizations for fundraising events. Let us know if you are hosting an event and would like to partner with us. We can assist with planning and volunteers and you can rest assured that your proceeds are going to make a difference to local schoolchildren.

Scholarships and Grants

Be the light that brightens the future for students and teachers. You can help raise awareness and generate funding for $2000 technical scholarships for local high school students and mini-grants to fund teacher projects at area elementary schools. Scholarship awards are based on GPA, leadership, community service, and financial need. Mini-grant recipients are determined by school administrators based on the particular needs of their student population.

Relationships

You won't have more fun for a good cause than sponsoring or volunteering at an event or working on our Scholarship or STAR Mini-Grant committee. Some call us a bit wacky, but our philosophy is that charity should be fun. We depend on sponsorships and volunteers to support our programs and need you on our team. You'll be surprised at what a huge difference a little bit of your time can make.
