Now Accepting Nominations for the Board of Directors
WHAT DOES BEING A BOARD MEMBER AT ACT MEAN? Being a board member at ACT means being part of a diverse team to ensure a robust and healthy future for ACT. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), "community" is more than a middle name at ACT. ACT relies on members of the community volunteering their expertise and time as Board Members to guide it toward a secure and sustainable future. Board Members provide ethical, legal, and fiscal governance of ACT. The ACT Board of Directors is a group of at least twelve individual board members. Together the board of directors ensures that ACT has the resources it needs to advance its mission: "to provide quality theatre and artistic experiences to the community through participation and presentation." Having a diverse board of directors is an essential part of making ACT the best it can be. It takes a variety of backgrounds, skills, and abilities to help advance ACT's mission. If you want to see ACT continue to succeed in providing great theatre to our community, then you should apply/self-nominate to be a board member.
