Organization
The School is governed by a 9-member Board of Directors with 7 members elected by the AISB Association. There is an appointed representative of the U.S. Embassy. The school director serves on the Board as a non-voting member. There is also a teacher representative to the board.
Facilities AISB has just recently taken its initial steps toward building a brand new campus on property it has secured next to the Niger River, not far from a new 'third bridge' being built. Committees have finalized basic architectural designs, spaces required, as well as layout of the buildings and faculty housing, all of which will be built on the 12.5-acre (51,000 m2) parcel of land. Anticipated moving date for the school will be as soon as possible prior to the fall of 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
