Since 1940, the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) has been a key resource for continuous improvement in independent schools. While the specific focus has evolved over the years, CAIS has always been a trusted partner for independent school leaders, a prized accreditation group, and a source of data-backed information and guidance.

Reporting to Executive Director Deb Dowling, the Director of Equity and Learning will be joining a small but impactful team of 9 to provide guidance to CAIS school heads and trustees through a lens of inclusion, equity, and belonging. Within the goals of the new strategic plan, the Director will lead programs to support strong school leadership, help build a pipeline of future leaders, and actively work to foster inclusion, equity, and belonging within CAIS and among member schools.
