What is an NCPG Board Member?

An NCPG Board Member is a member of the Guild in good standing who engages in the spirit of collaboration to help run the Guild. Once a year, we put out a call to members for new board member nominations. Self-nominations are acceptable as well. Board Members are expected to help with the overall health of the organization. They are expected to:

​

• Support and contribute to the development of sustainable practices 

• Strategize for the Guild's future

• Attend meetings and represent the community of members.

• Be a team player.

 

The NCPG is a place for learning and sharing the passion of puppetry. It is a supportive group of artists, educators, and enthusiasts who share common values when it comes to working together, problem-solving collaboratively, and supporting one another in the spirit of community and collaboration.
