How long is a director’s term?
3 years (July 2023 – June 2026)
We have two board members leaving before the end of their current terms; one of the elected board members will serve a 2 year term. The directors with the shorter term will be decided among the Board of Directors.
Are there any pre-qualifications for directors?
The only requirement is that nominees must be active members at the time of the election.
They do not need previous experience on a board, on stage, or behind the scenes at Central Park Players. Our board is made up of directors with a number of different backgrounds. For us to maintain & grow our organization, it is important that our board members offer a variety of strengths and skills. We especially welcome individuals with backgrounds in customer service, accounting, legal, grant-writing, and marketing.
