The Board of Directors is passionate about its mission to spread the good news of Bach far and wide. It is a producing body that works in concert with the Music Director and the Executive Director to set the artistic course of the Festival and bring it to life with fiscal responsibility. The Board actively seeks the monetary resources needed to maintain the highest musical and artistic quality.
The board has responded to the challenges of an economic downturn with vigorous action. When it sensed that there were difficult times, both externally and internally, the board, with the assistance of a consultant, faced its challenges head-on, developed a continually renewing strategic plan, with a three-year scope, that addressed the issues it was facing both structurally and financially. We are proud to say that we are now on target in both areas.
The board works through the coordinated efforts of its committees to accomplish its mission and carry out the vision of the Music Director. The committees include:
• The Executive Committee consisting of the officers and committee chairs
• The Finance Committee to set a budget and guide financial matters
• The Program/Education Committee to support the program vision of the Music Director
• The Strategic Planning Committee to monitor an update the Strategic Plan
• The Development/Marketing Committee to coordinate fundraising and publicizing the Festival
• The Nominations Committee to recruit new board members and plan for their orientation
