Seeking Board of Trustees Candidates
The Sudbury Savoyards’ Governance Committee is seeking candidates to run for the Board of Trustees. Each year we elect 3 Trustees for 3-year terms. We announce the results of the election at our Annual meeting
WHAT DOES THE BOARD DO? The Board of Trustees consists of 9 members who collectively make informed decisions on behalf of the company in alignment with our mission. The Board shares the responsibility for overseeing programs, staff, operations, and committees. This includes approving program decisions, creating long-range plans, overseeing the budget, monitoring all ongoing operations, and covering special projects. There is information on our website including our Committee Charters and company Bylaws.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IN BOARD MEMBERS? Our Trustees come from various skill sets, backgrounds, and knowledge bases. Since a well-rounded Board should collectively possess the capabilities required to execute the organization’s mission, we are seeking individuals with experience in administration, performing arts, music, volunteerism, operations, fundraising, law, finance, communications, and more. Trustees should be able to commit to an average of 3-5 hours per month for Board work including:
Attending the majority of monthly board meetings (usually virtual on weeknight evenings)
Participating as a member of a Committee and assisting on special projects
Being responsive and communicative to emails/messages (The Board may need to react to an unexpected occurrence or vote on a matter between meetings.)
Staying informed about current developments to contribute effectively to The Sudbury Savoyards
HOW DO I APPLY TO RUN FOR THE BOARD? Prospective candidates should submit the following:
A photo/headshot of yourself and
1-3 paragraphs with your responses to the following:
why you would like to join the Board
your past role(s) with The Sudbury Savoyards, and
what skills and experiences you’d bring to the role
Please reach out if you need more information, would like to discuss anything, or want to submit an application (laurel.martin@sudburysavoyard.org). Thank you!
Laurel Martin, Chair Governance Committee
