Those with one or more of the following characteristics are especially encouraged to apply: a passion for the arts, experience with networking, an interest in or understanding of community development, marketing, communications, public relations, urban planning or design, or experience with architecture, business planning, finance or capital fundraising.

The society also oversees operation of the Plaskett Gallery inside the theatre building, which provides exhibitions of regional visual artists; as well as the Massey Ticket Centre, offering professional community ticketing service.

Anyone interested in joining the volunteer board of directors should contact Lynn Radbourne at [email protected] and forward a cover letter and resum.

Applications are due by July 31.
