The Voice of the Community
Representing a variety of constituencies, Overture’s Community Advisory Committee makes recommendations to Overture Center staff regarding community and educational programming. The board recommends opportunities to deepen and enrich community engagement and helps develop relationships with community constituents and organizations. The board also evaluates Overture’s community programming.
The Community Advisory Committee continues to grow and establish itself as an important contributor to the Equity and Innovation initiative at Overture. In addition to recently completing Overture’s Land Recognition statement the group is working on an Equity and Innovation statement for the organization, review of the International Festival and Community Ticket program and will help with recruitment of volunteers for Overture’s volunteer usher core.
