LAS VEGAS, May 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mr. Robert Boughner, a Meadows parent since 2017 and recent addition to the Meadows Board of Trustees, has generously donated funds to The Meadows School to create The Boughner Family Endowment. This endowment will support diversity and inclusivity initiatives for the school now and into the future.

"Gifts like Mr. Boughner's live in perpetuity, allowing the school's present and future leadership to continue to raise the bar with regard to professional development without worrying about how that development impacts the yearly budget," states Jeremy Gregersen, Head of School.

Specifically, The Boughner Family Endowment will allow the school to send students and faculty to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) People of Color Conference, the NAIS Student Diversity Leadership Conference, and bring targeted speakers and trainers to campus each year. This aligns with The Meadows Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategic Plan that launched in the fall of 2020.

"On behalf of my family, we are grateful for the opportunity to help facilitate a program of such caliber. We look forward to participating in the program as it is consistent with the school's motto 'In Pursuit of Excellence,'" says Boughner.

"In stepping forward with this gift, Mr. Boughner is helping The Meadows School to take its place as a leader in providing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive atmosphere for its staff and students," adds Gregersen.

The Boughner Family Endowment is the newest named endowment for the school. Adding and growing endowments allows The Meadows to invest in enriched academic programs, professional development, and financial aid.
