Our Board of Directors

We seek a broad diversity of genders, races, cultures, geography and generations for our board member positions.

Board members participate as a Director in the oversight and administration of the ongoing activities and development of the organization.

Directors participate in a monthly board or a committee meeting, and assume a volunteer role in the organization based on their specific areas of interest and/or serve as an Officer of the Board.

Directors also take on various action items developed in board meeting, assist with monthly readings, and serve on a show curation team a couple times a year.

A director’s term of office is two years. Board members terms may be renewed through annual board elections.

If your are interested in learning how to become a board member, let us know and contact us.
