BOARD OF DIRECTORS: APPLICATION PROCESS
Each year during and after the Festival, Folklorama’s Nominating Committee begins the important process of recruiting individuals to serve on Folklorama’s volunteer Board of Directors. Applicants must be in good standing of a current Folklorama organization or performing group or be registered as a Folklorama individual member. Please note that current Pavilion Coordinators are ineligible to apply for a position on the Board during their corresponding Festival term.
Serving on the Folklorama Board takes time and commitment but is a rewarding experience that provides support for Folklorama’s year-round governance functions. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older with a strong commitment to Folklorama’s mission and vision, found HERE. Leadership, integrity, organizational and time management skills, community development, and a positive, professional demeanor are vital qualities of Board members. Experience in governance boards and not-for-profit organizations is preferred.
