Board of Directors 

The Board of Directors of the Dudley Birder Chorale, with representatives from both the Chorale and wider community, provides oversight and direction to the activities of the Chorale.  The Board ensures that the mission of the Chorale is being met and kept in consistent and continual awareness.  This active and dedicated Board acts as both a guide and an advisor to the Artistic Director for the operations of the Chorale.  The Board engages regularly in both short-range and long-range planning for the Chorale.  Board members make the commitment to regularly attend board and committee meetings, and to provide an annual financial contribution to the Chorale.  The Board members are assigned to one or more committees which focus on the Board members’ areas of interest and expertise; these areas of service include determining music performed and venues used, engaging in marketing efforts to grow the audience and public awareness, addressing members’ satisfaction and concerns, and ensuring financial accountability and stability.
