Join our board

We are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic individuals to apply for a position with our group. Being a member of Chorus York’s board is challenging; it requires commitment, leadership, decision-making, dedication and integrity. We are a dedicated group of people. We thrive on the success of the organization and we have fun along the way.

Ideal board candidates will be dedicated trained professionals with fundraising and/or previous board experience, who possess a strong interest and background in music practices. Professional training in the arts is not required. Candidates must also be community-minded and possess good communication and interpersonal skills. Previous experience in the not-for-profit sector or with other art groups is an asset.

Submit a letter outlining the skills and expertise that would make you a valuable addition to our board.
