Be part of the SDSS Leadership Team for 2022!
Nominations are currently open through December 19th, 2021. We will elect Officers and Directors in January.
Are you interested in shaping the future of the Society? Do you have a passion for Shakespeare and community? We hope you’ll consider nominating yourself (or someone else) to get involved and help us make 2022 even better, brighter, and Bard-ier!
A few details to note:
- 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, Membership, 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.
