PEN's Seeking Parents for our Board of Directors

EN is looking for a few dynamic PUSD elementary school parents to join our Board of Directors.

As you know, the Pasadena Education Network is a network of more than 2,000 parents who support and send our children to Pasadena Unified School District schools.  We are a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization and are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. PEN provides parents with the information they need to find the right schools for their family, connects parents with each other and their schools, and provides PUSD leadership with parent input so it can inform their decision-making. We are seeking candidates to join our Board of Directors who meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Parents of PUSD elementary school students (more Dad representation needed)

  • Represent the diversity of our community

  • Are strategic thinkers

  • Have connections to the local business and/or philanthropic community

As a Board Member, you’ll not only determine PEN’s direction, but your involvement will help ensure that PEN fulfills its mission.  You’ll have an opportunity to have an impact on our schools and our students.  Because of our close working relationship with the school district, you’ll receive the most up-to-date information about public education in our community, and have opportunities to interact with the community and school district leadership.

Being on the PEN Board typically requires a time commitment of 3-5 hours a month.  Your role will include:

  • Determine the vision, goals, and policies for the organization

  • Help PEN reach our fundraising goals so we can sustain PEN’s impact today and for the future

  • Provide direction and feedback for our Executive Director

  • Connect with our members and the community to ensure we continue to meet the needs of parents

To find out more about joining the PEN Board, please send an email to Jennifer Allan Goldman, PEN’s Board Chair, by April 30, 2025.

Thank you!
