The BRPM Board is a group of dedicated volunteers who will be running the organization for the foreseeable future. This means that members are responsible for all aspects of BRPM's operations, including managing finances and budget, fundraising and grantwriting, planning and helping run sessions, creating newsletters and social media posts, and updating the strategic vision for the organization.
Joining our Board at this crucial time is an opportunity to have a positive impact on BRPM’s direction and future. A dynamic 2025 Board will enable us to continue fulfilling our mission to empower girls, women, and gender-expansive individuals through music education and performance.
If you're excited about becoming part of the Board OR you know an excellent nominee, please complete an application by November 30, 2024.
TIME COMMITMENT
All initial Board terms last two years, with the option to renew one year at a time.
Board members are expected to meet monthly, for four 2-hour quarterly Board meetings each year plus 1-hour meetings during other months. Some Board members serve as elected officers (Chair or Co-chair, Clerk, Treasurer) and may also choose to lead or participate in subcommittees and other initiatives. We estimate total Board-related activities to range between 8–12 hours per month.
