THE OFFICIAL SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN

Thank you so much for your interest in being a part of the Michigan Shakespeare Festival Board of Directors.We appreciate your time.

​

The primary purpose for the board of a non-profit arts organization is to ensure that the mission and goals of the organization are achieved; this mainly concerns fiduciary responsibilities and ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards. The Board is accountable to the stakeholders of the organization including funders, donors, and the community.

​

The MSF Board meets once per month - around the Board schedules as much as possible - by Zoom - for 90 minutes or so to go over the reports from the Producing Artistic Director, from other staff, and to go over the financial reports from the previous month. With that information, the Board votes to approve courses of action for fundraising, marketing, staff hiring, long-term strategic planning, and managing resources.

​

Beyond the hiring of the C-level leadership of the organization: Producing Artistic Director, Managing Director, Development Director, etc, and the approval of season selection and new programming, the Board is not involved in the day-to-day artistic workings of the organization.​

Please fill in the following form for our Executive Committee. Response time is usually a couple of days.
