Board of Trustees

All-of-us Express Children’s Theatre is a community-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees elected at the annual membership meeting held each September. Officers are likewise elected by the board during the annual membership meeting in September.

The AECT Board of Trustees has as many as 18 members serving in any given season. Members serve up to two consecutive three year terms, and are elected by the AECT membership. The board meets once a month, on the second Tuesday of every month; board meetings are open to the membership (and board members are required to be members), so if you are a member you are free to sit in on a meeting or two and see if it’s right for you. If you are passionate about theatre and great youth organizations, we would love to have you! Contact the board to learn more about serving. 

You may also want to consider joining a committee. AECT has committees for Grants and Sponsorships, Fundraising, Membership, Nominations, Youth Leadership Initiatives, and Operations. You do not need to be a member or on the board to join a committee.
