Board of Directors Election Background and Candidate Statement
The AISL Board of Directors is comprised of seven members. Two are appointed by the U.S. Ambassador, two are elected from among the parents who are affiliated with the U.S. Embassy, and three are elected from the rest of the parent association. All elected board members serve two-year terms. This year we have only one vacancy in our elected positions, which is for a U.S. Government-affiliated board member.  There was only one candidate nominated, Andrea Heiland. Her biographical statement is below.

Andrea Heiland – Candidate for U.S. Government-Affiliated Position
 
It is an honor to be considered for membership on the AISL Board of Directors. Although I have not had the opportunity to serve on the board of an American school overseas, I have served on a homeowner’s association board in the United States, which I believe has many similar goals – respect for different perspectives, discretion about privacy issues, cooperation with other members to commit to a unified voice, and clear lines of responsibility between the board and the management team. I have over two decades of experience in customer service, management, compliance and operations in the financial services and advertising industries, and am currently serving as the Financial Management Officer at the U.S. Embassy. My husband and I have a child attending middle school at AISL. Thank you for your consideration.
