A few details to note:

In conjunction with our Mission, the Society strives to create as diverse a Leadership team as possible—ALL are welcome to apply!
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 in January.
At present, all meetings are held virtually.
Directors
Directors of the Board meet every two months (six times per year) and discuss and decide on various SDSS matters, including:
- Administration
- Vision and Goals
- Grants
- Events
- Membership
Officers
Officers must also be Directors and are expected to attend each Board meeting (every two months).
The lists below are a general overview and only takes a few hours each quarter (in addition to Board meetings and any other projects). Being on the Board is also a TEAM effort, so anyone can assist with any tasks as needed.

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!
All Board Members, Officers, and Committee Advisors must either be current SDSS members or be willing to join.
