Board Member
Marin Girls Chorus is actively seeking engaged, passionate people from our community to help us carry out our mission of providing exceptional music education to girls from all over Marin. Being a small organization, the board is by necessity involved in the day to day operations. Being a board member is far from being an honorary position; it offers a real opportunity to get involved in an area of interest. An interest in music or children’s activities is beneficial but not essential.

Other than these meetings, we expect board members to make an effort to attend chorus events, including season concerts, outreach events, and fundraisers.
We do not have a minimum donation or fundraising amount for our board members; we ask that each board member make a donation in an amount that is significant to them and participate in fundraising efforts, including our annual appeal and an auction/dinner event.
We have particular interest in candidates with the following areas of experience:
