We invite you to join Bailey Institute’s Virtual Board of Trustees because…

  • As a global organization, we believe it is important not to be limited by geography, time or space in fulfilling our vision to eradicate illiteracy.
  • We see technology as “The 21st Century’s gift to the poor” and will use this gift to reach you, and enroll you in helping to eradicate illiteracy.

Why is this outreach appeal to a Virtual Board necessary?

  • To become a truly borderless organization with access to unlimited talent and input
  • To attract diverse voices that enable us to achieve the mission and vision more effectively and efficiently
  • To accomplish the vision sooner…’many hands make small work.’
