Help Shape the Future of a Growing Contemporary Cultural Organization
danceTactics is seeking thoughtful, collaborative, and engaged individuals to join our Board of Directors.
We're not simply looking to fill board seats. We're looking for people who want to help shape what's next —people who bring ideas, expertise, relationships, curiosity, and a genuine belief in the power of contemporary art, community, cultural exchange, and possibility.
You don't have to be a dancer. You don't need previous board experience. We welcome individuals who are serving on a nonprofit board for the first time and are excited to learn, contribute, and grow as organizational leaders.

We are expanding our Board of Directors to help guide and support the organization's next chapter.
About the Opportunity
Board service with danceTactics is an opportunity to become part of the organization's leadership, growth, and long-term development .

We are intentionally building a board that functions as a community of cultural leaders, ambassadors, advocates, connectors, and collaborators.
What We're Looking For
Ideal candidates are people who:
Prior board experience is helpful, but not required.
Board Give/Get Commitment
Transparency is important to us.
Board members are asked to make an annual $600 give/get commitment to support danceTactics' sustainability and fundraising efforts. This may be fulfilled through a combination of personal giving and/or funds raised through the board member's network and fundraising efforts.
The purpose is not simply the dollar amount. It is about each board member actively participating in the organization's financial sustainability and helping cultivate the resources needed to support the work.
Leadership Opportunities
As the board develops, members may have opportunities to serve in leadership capacities including:
Prior experience in these roles is not required. We are interested in understanding each candidate's strengths, interests, leadership potential, and aspirations.
Why Join the danceTactics Board?
This is an opportunity to help shape an evolving contemporary cultural organization with work that reaches across artistic disciplines, communities, and geographic boundaries.
As a board member, you can help:
Open doors.
Build relationships.
Strengthen sustainability.
Expand visibility.
Support artists.
Develop partnerships.
Shape strategy.
Imagine what's possible.
You don't have to be a dancer.
You don't have to have served on a board before.
You don't have to know everything about nonprofit governance.
You simply need to believe in the power of art, community, collaboration, and possibility—and want to help build what comes next.
Commitment
Board members should be prepared to participate actively in board meetings, committee or project work, organizational conversations, fundraising and relationship-building efforts, and activities that support the visibility and sustainability of danceTactics.
We recognize that board service looks different for each person. We are interested in learning how your skills, experience, relationships, and interests can contribute to the organization.
Application & Selection Process
We are currently accepting applications and actively reviewing candidates.
The process includes:
Candidates submit an application sharing their experience, interests, skills, relationships, and potential contribution to danceTactics.
Selected candidates will be invited to participate in a conversation with members of the Board Recruitment Committee.
Candidates who move forward will have the opportunity to learn more about the organization, meet board members, ask questions, and explore mutual fit.
Interviews will continue through September 30, 2026.
Our goal is not simply to fill seats. We want to build a strong, diverse, engaged, and strategically aligned leadership community for the future of danceTactics.
