Our Board of Directors
2023-2024
———————————————————-
The board of directors is made up of volunteers, just like all other positions at the theatre. We are sructure with a President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, as core offices, with three to five Members at Large, the total board size from 7 to 9. It takes a strong team to ensure our theatre lasts well into the future in an active and healthy state, and the participation of all who want to help make this happen is welcomed.
Board members are typically voted on at our annual members meeting each September. We let our membership know, in advance, the date, time and agenda of the meeting. If you have an interest in joining the board, let us know at ANY TIME by calling (541-994-5663) or emailing us (TheatreWestofLC@gmail.com). A member will reach out to you to discuss your interest and share information about board positions, etc., and of course, answer any questions you may have of us.
Jack Baird
President
Jack first became active in a non-profit four years ago. He was first a board member at Large, and eventually became vice president. He loves acting in theater, and has been involved in theater on and off for over 30 years. He has written and directed One play himself, and after a 6-year hiatus has gotten back into theater, and felt that he would be an effective board member. He looks forward to helping this theatre grow.
