Board of Directors
"It takes a village" as the old adage goes, and so it does for non-profit organizations in the arts. Kate Weare Company's inaugural board of directors are dedicated to ensuring that these formative years of growth are both stable and ambitious, creative and practical, focused and expansive.
The Company has expanded so rapidly in the past two years that we need to expand its governance as well. If you are interested in supporting Kate Weare Company by becoming a member of the board of directors, please contact us.
