Essential Theatre Board MemberMonday, May 25, 2009 - Saturday, May 01, 2010The Essential Theatre is very proud of its reputation for presenting high quality productions of new works including a world premiere by a Georgia Playwright and wants to leverage its decade of success and harness its expertise to foster strategic growth. We are realizing synergies from partnering with Actors Express and Working Title Playwrights to better serve our mission. This is a very exciting time for Essential and we invite you to join us as we launch our 2009 festival. Together with the Atlanta volunteer organization Community Consulting Team [CCT] we have created a five-year growth plan and continue our community outreach by growing the size and diversity of our Board and seeking a stronger volunteer base. To help us further promote our mission and grow our organization in line with our strategic goals, we are currently seeking 4-6 new Board members. Potential Board Members should have a passion for new plays, and are asked to attend a majority of quarterly board meetings, attend company productions, support the company with a financial contribution and help the company with fund raising activities. Although not required, Essential Theatre hopes to find persons who fall into one or more of the following categories: an entrepreneur who has successfully started and run a small business; a person with management experience in a large corporation that may be interested in charitable giving and/or corporate sponsorship; or, a person well seated in the community who has contacts with community philanthropists with a history of or an interest in supporting the arts. Specifically, Essential Theatre seeks Board members with particular expertise public relations, fundraising/donor development, event planning, graphic arts, web design, advertising sales, legal aspects of non-profits as well as accounting/finance. Board members are expected to make a minimal financial contribution, commit to raising funds, or make an in-kind donation to support our work. Essential is an equal opportunity organization and seeks Board Members without regard to sex, race, creed or sexual orientation. We hope you will consider making a commitment to serve on the Essential Theatre board or that you will share this invitation with others who might be interested in our mission to develop and produce new dramatic works for Atlanta audiences.
