Duties & Responsibilities of Membership

Participation in one of our major events is expected of our members; volunteer hours are a great way to meet others and have input into how our events are organized, run and perceived by the public. We cannot ‘hire’ people to put-on our shows. Your creative input keeps things fresh, new and exciting! Sharing the tasks takes the work load off the chair, co-chair and committee leaders and spreads the duties fairly. It is what makes the Coalition work.

Our Board members are expected to chair an event or actively participate in the business of the Coalition. Promotion of the Artists Coalition and its general goals helps spread the word and bring in new members.
