Who Manages FABSIT?

FABSIT is managed by a full-time staff in our Boston, Massachusetts office, and an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Our Board members are American Board school alumni and former faculty and staff from many professions and locations in the United States who want to ensure the continued success of these institutions that have profoundly affected their lives.

“I came to the conclusion that it is Pay Back time for us, Talas and Tarsus graduates, to show our appreciation to an institution, (the American Board), that made it all possible for us.”
