Additional Details:
The Theater Offensive's (TTO) mission is to present liberating art by, for, and about queer and trans people of color that transcends artistic boundaries, celebrates cultural abundance, and dismantles oppression. TTO is recruiting board members with an interest in individuals with a finance background and/or facilities plannning. Director terms are three-year, renewable positions.

In this moment of cultural and international upheaval, we have shifted our mission and are taking the time to redefine what artistic excellent means for TTO: holding the work we do to the standards of our values. We have a Black-led, woman-led board of directors, a real commitment to dismantling white supremacy in our practice and programming, and a stable organization with sophisticated financial models and management, including a capital campaign and a facility-building project underway.

Our mission is to open the realm of classic theatre to a diverse audience; and provide an opportunity and place for actors of color to hone their skills and talent in mastering some of the world’s greatest classical roles. We do this by producing work from the canon of classical theatre including Shakespeare and great American and world playwrights that is lively, entertaining and relevant.

We are in the process of identifying people who would care about the work we do and match our needs and criteria for service on our board of directors and various committees. Specifically, we are looking for strategic thinkers who will be active ambassadors for our cause, must be willing to roll up your sleeves, and take an active participation on significant strategic initiatives. The right board member will devote their “time, talent, and treasure” to bring benefits to our organization.

A Letter from Laurie

By

LETTERS TO LEIGH

Stephanie and Leigh – It’s time for some gratitude.  Last summer, I joined Leigh’s regular Non Profit Networking Zoom calls.  And through those calls, I met Stephanie.  And through Stephanie I got involved with Budget Buddies.

Last July I started as a financial literacy coach. I participated in two different sessions and I found it so fulfilling.  Today I got a call and on Monday I’ll be facilitating a 13 week program as a program lead.  A different role that will challenge me in new ways.

I’m grateful to have found Leigh in the spring of 2019 – that is when I joined my first in person Non Profit Networking group high above the ground near the State House building.  I remember meeting John Huycke at that morning event as well. I thought I was so out of place as a sector switcher.  What a welcoming group indeed.

Thank you again for all the networking, introductions, and encouragement.
Best,
Laurie Calvert

Virtual Nonprofit BoardCon

March 18, 2021 – 1:00PM Eastern Time

Join New York’s nonprofit Executive Directors, Board Members, Presidents, C-Suite Officers, Heads of Strategy and more to explore these insights and strategies, as we enter a new era in the nonprofit industry.

Panels Topics Include:

  • Board Responsibilities 101
  • Board Governance, Risk and Compliance

The pandemic has transformed many activities in the nonprofit sector. Event plans have been reimagined, fundraising strategies have changed direction, and boards have navigated through many risks and challenges. Effective board management allows for nonprofits to make a bigger impact. Providing your board with key resources can increase your fundraising efforts, strategic planning, and other mission-based work — especially during a crisis.. New York Nonprofit Media will host “Virtual Nonprofit BoardCon” bringing together Executive Leadership and Board Members from nonprofits across New York to learn how collaboration between board and staff is essential amid the pandemic and going forward into the new normal.
