BECOME A TRUSTEE LEADERSHIP NETWORK MEMBER FOR $100 PER YEAR
Trustees play a crucial role in organizational governance and the future of the not-for-profit theatre field, and TCG recognizes the need for trustee education and engagement. As part of our vision to build a better world for theatre, and a better world because of theatre, TCG has created the Trustee Leadership Network—an enhanced form of individual membership designed for trustees of TCG member theatres.
Trustee Leadership Network (TLN) members receive all the benefits of Individual Membership with TCG, but they are also reimagining board governance to support a just and thriving theatre ecosystem through the Trustee Exchange--a regular call series for trustees who are committed to the work of transformation.
