The TIRF Board of Trustees is an elected board of volunteers who bring their expertise in English language teaching and research, assessment, publications, leadership, international education, fundraising, and a range of other talents to the Foundation. They serve three-year, renewable terms. Officers are elected from among the Trustees and serve two-year, renewable terms.
To further its mission, TIRF completes numerous projects throughout the year, drawing on the expertise of its Trustees as well as colleagues who support TIRF through work on Committees, Working Groups, Professional Services, and Project Initiatives. Colleagues interested in serving as a Trustee or in another capacity should email TIRF Chief Operating Officer Ryan Damerow ([email protected]) to learn about getting involved.
