SEEKING VOLUNTEER BOARD MEMBERS
FOR
WHIDBEY’S SARATOGA ORCHESTRA

Whidbey’s Saratoga Orchestra is a professional, non-profit orchestra whose mission is to
entertain, educate, and enrich the Whidbey Island community through music.
You can read about more about the orchestra at www.sowhidbey.com.

As we celebrate our 15th Season as Whidbey Island’s only professional orchestra, we are also
celebrating our volunteer board members and looking to expand our board as we go forward.
Our board consists of a group of individuals from various walks of life with varied professional
talents. Some of our board members are musicians and others just love music. Most
importantly, all our members have an enthusiasm for involvement.

Meetings are held once a month in consultation with the Music Director, Executive Director,
and Musician Representatives to make decisions that are in the best interest of the orchestra
and all the events and programs it provides during the year. We ensure prudent use of
orchestra funds; brainstorm about fundraising; and organize fundraising events to make these
programs possible. Additional meetings may be necessary, and a full-day annual meeting is
held yearly.

We are always looking for members with:
- Committee management skills.
- Fundraising skills.
- Creative community involvement ideas.
- Accounting/legal experience.
- Marketing/Media skills; and
- Technology skills.

Are you interested in learning more about being a board member?

the mission of Whidbey’s Saratoga Orchestra.
