Be part of the SDSS Leadership Team!

Nominations are currently open through January 3, 2021.

Officers are currently elected for a term of one year and Directors to the Board are elected for a term of two years.

We also have Committee Advisor positions! We have several committees ongoing (Grants, Vision/Goals, Recruitment, etc.), and we welcome additional support as we continue expanding—your assistance and input would be invaluable. This could be the perfect chance to get involved!

In conjunction with our Mission, the Society strives to create as diverse a Leadership team as possible—ALL are welcome to apply! Please find the form below.

The Board will conduct interviews of possible candidates and may vote to add any new Directors, Officers, or Advisors as early as the next meeting.

At present, all meetings are held virtually, though that may change based on state and county guidelines.

Directors

Directors of the Board meet every two months (six times per year) and discuss and decide on various SDSS matters, including:

  • Artistic/Vision
  • Finances
  • Events
  • Projects
  • Marketing
  • Collaborations

Officers

Officers must also be Directors and are expected to attend each Board meeting (every two months).

President

  • Oversees Board meetings
  • Acts as general manager of the Society
  • Prepares agenda, with input from other Directors

Vice President

  • Assumes all duties of President in his/her absence

Secretary

  • Takes and prepare minutes at meetings
  • Timekeeper for Board meeting and discussion lengths
  • Organizes submitted reports and distribute with agenda to Directors

Treasurer

Committee Advisors

Committees will meet as needed, determined by the members. Advisors can assist in the planning, discussion, and work of the committees. Committee Advisors are not elected to the Board and are not voting members of the Board.

While these are all volunteer and unpaid positions, you’ll be part of the Society Leadership Team, bringing Shakespeare to life in San Diego!

  • You may choose more than one. Officers must also be Directors.

  • The SDSS is a small and passionate organization, and we depend on each and every member! We have no staff, and for many Board members, with everything we're doing, it can become a part-time vocation. In other words, we have no “honorary” positions. We use email for much communication and ask Board members to be checking in every 2-3 days. Is this something you can take on?
  • For all positions mentioned above, any individual elected or selected will need to be a member of the Society (at any appropriate level). Are you willing to join the Society if you are not already a member?
