The Hiawatha Board is an active group! Some of the recent endeavors have been to develop and implement a long term strategic plan for the Co-op, re-ignite efforts to engage with other community groups to bring traditional music to the area, offer traditional music events year round, and engage volunteers in Committee work.
Please remember that you must have been a Music Co-op member for at least six months to serve on the board. An original $5 life membership can meet this requirement.
If you would like to put your name in nomination for one of the board positions open for election at the Annual Members Meeting, please come prepared to speak for about a minute to introduce yourself and share some of the information below during the meeting.
Our Board has 10 members. Board terms are three years.
A board member can serve two consecutive terms. At the conclusion of a second term, a Board member must pause for a period of one year before running for the Board again.
The board meets once a month. For the past several years, those meetings have been the first Wednesday evening of each month, although that could change based on members’ schedules.
Board members should not miss more than three consecutive meetings without providing a reason such as work, illness, etc. Board Members are encouraged to find an area of interest to work on for the Festival and for Committee Work.
