Trustees & Committees

The LI Science and Engineering Board of Trustees, composed of 11 members, meet once a month during the 10-month school calendar and, if necessary, they may call a special meeting during the summer months of July and August. Most of the meetings are completely open to interested parties but occasionally the Board meets in Executive Session but only after an open period was provided.

The meetings are usually the Third Thursday of the month unless a conflict arises that would prevent a quorum of trustees from attending, such as a school vacation or attendance at the International Science and Engineering Fair; if a conflict arises, the meeting is rescheduled.  The dates are available on the Important Dates page.  The June meeting is composed of a regular monthly meeting followed by an Executive Session for our Annual Meeting. 

Trustees have a maximum of a three-year term before they must submit to a new election. As the Trustees are placed in “classes” as defined in our by-laws, 3-4 trustees are up for re-election each year.  Persons interested in serving on our board must send a resume to president@lisef.org during the month of May for consideration at our Annual June meeting.

Criteria for selection include an interest in the promotion of scientific inquiry and discovery in the LI schools and the willingness to participate in the work involved in providing the opportunity for students to present their research endeavors at our three fairs. The vote requires a majority of our board.
