For over forty years, Guelph Arts Council has fostered a collaborative arts community in Guelph. Today Guelph is one of Canada’s great creative cities, and GAC is proud of the part it has played in that success. However, like our city, we are looking toward the future, armed with a plan to serve the creative community that inspires us. As we head into our Annual General Meeting on May 17, we’re looking for three inspired and enterprising minds to nominate to our Board of Directors. Specifically, we’re looking for community-minded, skilled collaborators who are passionate about the arts and committed to pursuing opportunities, including one person with a financial or accounting background. GAC Board members serve a three-year term, attend monthly Board meetings, and chair or actively serve on at least one Board committee. Think you have what it takes? Email your resume and letter of interest to [email protected] by April 14 and a member of GAC’s Nominating Committee will contact you. Interested but want more information? Contact Executive Director Patti Broughton at [email protected] or 519-836-3280. Board nominees will be selected by April 28. The slate of nominees that will be presented for election at GAC’s May 17 AGM will be mailed to all current members by May 3.
