Evergreen City Ballet (501c3) is growing our Board of Directors!

Greetings,

Evergreen City Ballet, a top performance dance studio and 501c3, is accepting nominations for additional Board members. ECB has a 30-year legacy in South King County, and is embarking on an exciting new era under the leadership of Artistic Director Maximiliano Guerra. We are excited to expand our board’s expertise, diversity, and breadth in support of Maestro Guerra’s vision and grow ECB into one of the top ballet schools in the Northwest.

During this nominating cycle the Board Development Committee will be accepting self-nominations and third-party nominations (nominating someone other than yourself) for board member positions. If you know someone, personally or professionally, who has the personal characteristics and relationships in the areas identified in the 2024 Nominating Priorities (see below), we encourage you to nominate them. By accepting both self-nominations and third-party nominations it will allow us to collect a large, diverse pool of candidates for board member positions.

Please submit your nominations by filling out the form here or using the QR code below. A board member will reach out to each nominee to understand their interest and provide a prospectus with more information on serving on the ECB Board. Questions can be emailed to board@evergreencityballet.org. Thank you for your support of Evergreen City Ballet. We look forward to reviewing your nomination!

Sincerely,

Brian Wallace

ECB Board President
