Call for Board of Directors Member (Volunteer), Shakespeare in Action
**Roles**:(1) Fundraising, Board of Directors
**Location**: Toronto, Canada
**About Shakespeare in Action**
Shakespeare in Action (SIA) is a professional theatre and arts education company that grows performing artists, artsworkers, and audiences in northwest Toronto across age, culture, and income-level through our anchor studio home at the Artscape Weston Common in the Weston community. We aspire to grow, support and sustain an accessible and compelling performing arts ecology in this under-resourced part of the city.
**The Opportunity**
For thirty-two years, SIA has been dedicated to making the language and stories of Shakespeare accessible, fun, and relevant to children, youth and their families. Our move to the Artscape Weston Common in 2019 coupled with incidents that exposed systemic racism in our company have spurred us toward a transformation. SIA is re-imagining our mission, specifically to centre the needs, stories, and identities of our community in York South Weston. We also seek to become a leader in safe and equitable creative spaces for local artists and audiences.
As such, we are looking to grow a Board of Directors that reflects our diverse community, and can lead the organization into this exciting next chapter. The Board of Directors is the governing body of SIA. The board oversees the organization, holds the company accountable, and supports the management and staff to ensure we can deliver on our mission.
The organization’s staff is comprised of deeply passionate, high energy and hardworking people. Members are elected on an annual basis, with the expectation that Directors commit to at least a two-year term.
At present, the Board meets eight times per year, typically in the evenings for one hour. Board members are also expected to attend the Annual General Meeting which usually takes place in the fall. Directors will also be expected to sit on a committee comprised of other board members, staff, and community members, which typically meet an additional four to six times a year. Meetings currently take place over Zoom.
**Qualifications**
- Prior charitable governance experience or other community-volunteering experience;
- A passion for the performing arts and commitment to the mission of SIA;
- Availability to make the majority of board meetings;
Expertise in the following area:
- Fundraising: Will support and assist in the development of the organizations broader fundraising plan and to provide leadership, financial support, and connection to donors and potential donors
**Equity Statement**
**Job Types**: Part-time, Casual
Part-time hours: 1 per week
