Online Zoom Meeting

Please register in advance for this meeting.

Volunteering on a committee is one of the most rewarding experiences at WAA. Not only can you contribute your time and expertise to a worthy cause, but you make new connects and forge lasting friendships with folks with colleagues across the Western United States and beyond. 

WAA’s Board of Directors plays a vital role in our capacity to serve you — our members. Our board supports us in fulfilling our mission to advance excellence in the performing arts, through innovative thinking and ground-breaking initiatives, by anticipating the future needs of the field, and through sound governance and stewardship.

Our parks and streets are transformed into festive landscapes filled with Juneteenth cookouts and Pride parades and we get to see what the United States is truly made of – people of all colors and backgrounds partying together. But underneath the veneer of block parties and family reunions…

Beginning today, we present to you Trying Times, a collection of resources that have helped our community navigate The Pandemic, The Great Recession, A Racial Reckoning, and more. Over the next five months, we will release past conference sessions, performances, articles, and other resources that offer important lessons for the present.  

WAA’s new and improved member portal has launched! Read on for everything you need to know.
