Oversight and Leadership

Dance Affiliates is managed by a small professional staff supported by a Board of Directors. The staff's responsibility is to maintain artistic focus, operating integrity and program development. Board members, in addition to their required fiduciary oversight, help ensure the health and well-being of the organization by serving as ambassadors and advocates in the community and by helping to raise essential funds.

Dance Affiliates also benefits from the advice and counsel of an Advisory Board to help the organization best serve its various constituents and diverse local community.
