The volunteers who serve on our board of directors form a team that’s committed to the well-being and future of this vibrant organization. Board members serve two year terms with the ability to extend, and they can join focused sub-committees or become an officer on the executive committee. Board meetings are the second Tuesday of the month from 5:15-6:45pm, usually at the Wild Hare, and board members participate in special Headwaters events throughout the year.
Serving on the board provides members with valuable experience and community connections, and they serve Headwaters by providing steady guidance and accountability as we strive to fulfill our mission. Whether your strengths lie in finance, community outreach, event planning, strategic vision, or simply being an enthusiastic supporter, there’s a place for you here. Step up, bring your talents, and help shape the future of Headwaters Music & Arts!
