The American School of Brasilia is a non-profit organization overseen by a Board of Directors. The Board provides strategic direction through the Head of School and does not intervene in day-to-day operations. The Board consists of seven to eleven voting members, with the Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy in Brasília automatically a non-voting member; at least 50% of the Board are U.S. citizens and two members are Brazilian citizens, with the remaining members reflecting the EAB community's diversity. The Board is self-perpetuating, with nominations managed by the Governance Committee and terms of three years, renewable up to twelve years, and roughly one-quarter of the Board rotating each year. Board committees include finance, facilities, governance, and audit, and ad hoc task forces may be formed as needed.
