The Department of Illumination has been bringing our creative magic to Prince Edward County since 2013, and our volunteer board of directors are looking for new members to help us shape a creative future. If you have a passion for the arts and a desire to put your strengths toward growing an important part of PEC’s arts and culture, we want to hear from you. We believe that a cooperative, diverse board is essential for our success, and want to reflect the vibrancy of the community we serve.

As a board member, you will play a crucial role in the DOI’s governance and strategic direction. Board Members are expected to attend 6 meetings a year, as well as sit on a committee and assist with events and special projects. Ideally, we are looking for individuals with experience in three key areas:

Development and Fundraising: Help us cultivate relationships with donors, foundations, and corporate sponsors. Experience in event planning, and donor stewardship is highly desirable.
Finance: Help us to oversee our budget, financial reporting, bookkeeping, and fiscal health. The ideal candidate has experience in accounting or finance, and is confident to work with our accountant. This board member would assist the current treasurer.
Board Governance: Help us strengthen our organizational effectiveness by guiding board policies, compliance, and best practices. The ideal candidate has experience with nonprofit governance, strategic planning, or board leadership.

If you want to support the creative culture in our community and think you’d be a good fit, please get in touch to find out more. Email board@deptofillumination.org by September 20th, and tell us a bit about yourself. All candidates will receive a response. Thank you!
