The American Alliance for Theatre & Education serves and inspires a growing collective of theatre artists, educators, and scholars committed to transforming young people and communities through the theatre arts. We are a membership-driven organization only as strong as the dedication, commitment, and creativity of our volunteer members. To that end, we are seeking five (5) active members to fill Board Director positions in the coming election cycle (3 year term).  AATE is committed to diversity and representation in our leadership.  See AATE Diversity Statement.

AATE Board of Directors is organized in a committee structure, so Board members are required to serve on two committees. Current AATE Board Committees include:

  • Communications & Marketing (including membership)
  • Governance (including Strategic Planning and Bylaws)
  • Programming (National, Regional and Networks)
  • Finance and Development
  • Nominating
  • Research and Scholarship
  • EDIA (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Access)

Details and responsibilities of each committee, as well as further information and expectations for serving on the Board, can be found in our Board Manual HERE.  Please note the new Give/Get policy recently added by the current board.  

The deadline for submissions to the Nominating Committee is Monday, March 16, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. (EST).
