Call For Board Members
Are you looking for a unique leadership opportunity? Have you been yearning to put your talent in strategic thinking, financial forecasting, organization behavior, project management or policy advocacy in the service of a great cause? Well, look no further!
If you are committed to the future of puppetry, we are looking for you! The Puppet Co is looking for leaders like you to join our board of directors. For over 30 years, our volunteer board has been the strategic heart of our organization, ensuring that in our work for puppetry, we deliver magical experiences, educational opportunities, respond to changes in our community and the highest ethical and inclusive standards to be worthy of our public support.

If you hold yourself to high expectations, then you’ll find board service very rewarding. We are looking for folks who will:
Attend twelve board meetings annually
Actively serve on one of our committees: Program, Outreach, Promotions and Events, Fundraising, Governance
Advocate for our needs in the community and among your colleagues and peers
Be always curious to learn more about the art of puppetry as well as nonprofit governance
