The ETS Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the school’s academic programs, its stability as an institution, and its finances. Nominees are presented by the Field Director to the General Director of World Missions and appointed by the World Missions Board. Board members are appointed bi-annually. The Board presently consists of 15-20 voting members. Board membership does not have a stated limitation, but traditionally Board members have been changed after eight years.

Board meetings are usually conducted over a two-day period twice each year (December and May). The Board is divided into three committees: Development/Facilities; Academics/Curriculum/Personnel; and Finances/Endowment.
