GATEWAY TO LIBERIA’S HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Governance and Administration

BWI is governed by a seventeen-member Board of Governors. The President of the Republic of Liberia serves as the Chairperson Ex-Officio while the Minister of Education serves as Member Ex-Officio. The Principal of BWI serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Secretary to the Board of Governors. Nine of the members are permanent members while the President of Liberia appoints eight for a period of four years. Members of the Board elect their leadership through a democratic process every four years.

The Board of Governors provides policy guidance to the BWI Administration, reviews and approves annual budgets and intervenes in matters associated with management and operation of the institution. It has the authority to recommend to the President of Liberia the removal and replacement of the Principal for a just cause.

Thanks for this site but my subjection is that an area could be created where Graduates or AA listings or name could be placed for viewing by those that visit this site. For instance, I am a graduate from the Agriculture department, 2005 graduating Class, if i tell anyone that I graduated,I give this site or school websit address to them and they will just come on it and goes straight the area or colum and find my name, class and year graduated from this noble institution.

Thanks once more.

It is wonderful to see BOWAII trying its best to make a comeback. Iam sure she can and will do greater things in years to come. Moreover, I am happy for the honor bestowed upon R.Vanjah Richards; he deserves it more than anyone I can think about. He truly loved the place.

BWI needs to incooperate young boys and girls into the BWI system for higher positions and in the leadership structure to do away with some old forks so that the young people can bring new ideas on the table.

Thank you very much for undertaking this remarkable project of
making our beloved BWI a member of the world's vertual family. For those
of us who live outside of Liberia, it has made it easy to proudly refer
anyone who seeks proof of our claim that we were once a GOLDEN CHILD of
this great man (Booker T. Washington)

As I am writing this email I am dropping tears out of excitment, pride
of belongingness, and remembrance of all those unique qualities I
enjoyed as a student at BOWI from 1979 to 1981 with Deans Wisseh and
Wanner.I am also proud of the unique qualities that were iconic of
BOWI's academic programs at the time.

Let me stop here for now, I will continue when I am able to control my
tears and emotions. Love you all.
