The Brantford Symphony Orchestra is seeking to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is looking for new members who share a love of music and an interest in promoting the orchestra in the community. We would welcome individuals with experience from various professions, especially finance, marketing and fund raising. Though prior board experience would be an asset, we would invite people who are hard working and motivated to being involved in an organization with a strong history and an exciting future.

Regular board meetings take place on the first Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. Our 2012 Annual General Meeting is taking place on September 25th.

Please send your letters of interest to Aida Steenkist, Office Administrator at administrator@brantfordsymphony.ca, (Tel) 519-759-8781, (Fax) 519-759-0842.
