FABOT + FOFA = Better Together
CEO Sheria McRae recently convened FA’s first FA Board of Trustees and Friends of FA Board retreat to align our goals and strategies moving forward.
Strategic planning, along with fund-raising to support our scholars, topped the shared agenda. Boards members also welcomed Lawrenceville executive Dwight Green as a board member of The Friends of Foundation Academies.
“I am thrilled to join a team of fine leaders, educators, administrators, philanthropists, and professionals to help facilitate Foundation Academy’s continued excellence on behalf of spirited Trenton youth,” he said.
“A major personal motivation derives from having had intense New York City middle/high school experiences similar to these students. I look forward to supporting leadership’s vision of broad inclusive collaboration to foster outsized Trenton student achievement and community development.”
