Beginning in February, the League will be offering two a series of five monthly, 90-minute discussions via telephone, one series designed specifically for new and incoming board chairs of budget groups 5 and 6, the other for groups 7 and 8.

This Mentoring Circle is a unique opportunity for your board chair to connect with other orchestra board chairs who have the same questions and are facing similar situations. Facilitated by Cate Moye, former board chair of Spokane Symphony Orchestra and League board member, this guided peer-to-peer learning offers networking, sharing, and personal insight from an experienced leader.

Mentoring Circle call schedule for groups 5 and 6 is 1-2:00 pm Eastern Time on February 9, March 1, March 22, April 5, and April 26. To register for this Mentoring Circle by Thursday, February 2, click here.
