More information on the committees that we are currently forming, there are five. The committees will have limited seats available and require a greater time commitment than the other areas we are looking to fill.
Finance Committee - Chaired by Michael Maszaros.
The Finance Committee provides fiscal oversight throughout the reorganization, ensuring responsible management of the organization's existing financial obligations through careful monitoring, planning, and board-level reporting. The committee will also provide support to the Managing Director and the Business Plan Development Committee in the development of accurate Proformas/budget forecasting.

Development/Fundraising Committee - Chaired by Lisa Streat.
The Development/Fundraising Committee supports the organization's financial recovery and sustainability by coordinating donor engagement, identifying new funding sources, and supporting the fundraising campaign in close partnership with the Managing Director.

Governance Committee - Chaired by Marlo Underwood.
The Governance Committee ensures the organization remains in compliance with its governing documents and legal obligations during the operational pause. The committee will review our current by-laws and structure and develop recommendations for future governance.

Communications Committee - Chaired by Susan Irgens.
The Communications Committee supports the Board Chair and Managing Director as the organization’s official spokespersons during the reorganization period. The Committee leads the development and coordination of community-facing communications, ensuring that messaging is consistent, timely, and aligned with the board’s decisions and the organization’s values. The Committee does not act independently as a spokesperson but serves to inform, prepare, and support authorized communications on behalf of the organization.

Business Plan Development Committee - Chaired by Janet Starke.
The Business Plan Development Committee is the primary working body of the reorganization, charged with conducting the research, analysis, and planning necessary to bring a credible and sustainable path forward to the full Board for approval. Working in close collaboration with the Managing Director and in coordination with all other committees, the Committee supports the organization’s pursuit of a sustainable operating model through targeted research and interviews of Comparable or Exemplar producing theater companies, the preparation of a series of potential Scenario Models, and the ultimate integration of the selected Scenario Model into the preparation and presentation of a new Business Plan for approval by the organization’s Board of Directors.
