Nominations are open for the Theatre Company of Saugus’ Board of Directors. There are nine members serving staggered three-year terms. Each year we hold an election to fill vacant positions.
This year there are four potential openings on the board. Larry Segel is term-limited. Ben Tan’s term is up and he is not running for another term. Two positions will be vacant. Those continuing on the board include Jeff Bliss, Sherri Raftery, Lauren Thompson, Billy Jenkins, and Kaycee Wilson.
The nominating committee has been gathering names of potential new board members. If you are interested in serving on the board, you should contact any current board member, or write to our general email address tcsaugus@gmail.com. We hope to finalize our nominees at the next board meeting on Wednesday 6 November.
The elections will occur at our Annual General Membership Meeting, which will be conducted via Zoom on Wednesday 20 November 2024 starting at 7:00 PM. Additional nominations can be made from the floor prior to the election vote.
Following the election, the board will meet and elect the officers of the company: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary. This meeting will be in early December. The meeting includes all retiring, continuing, and newly elected board members.
In addition to the regular Board of Directors, we also have Alternate Board Members. They also attend board meetings and can vote if we need additional people to make up a quorum.
Want to get involved but not yet ready to commit to several years? Alternate board members serve for one-year terms. Alternate board members for 2025 will also be selected at the Annual Meeting. Current Alternate members include: Heather Beatty, Dylan Bushe, Rosemary DeGregorio, Dana Murray, Deirdre Shaw, and Jill Sliby.
