The League is now accepting applications for the 2013-14 MetLife Governance Grants for Board Development. The deadline to complete this online application is October 15, 2013. Made possible by a generous grant from MetLife Foundation, these grants will provide financial assistance to orchestra boards motivated to strengthen their governance practice. Grants ranging from $2,500 to $7,500 will be awarded to up to seven orchestras. Funding can be used for facilitators or consultants, space rental, or other professional development opportunities (seminars, classes) where the board, as a whole, commits to participation.
