The Danville Girls Chorus is an organization run
completely by volunteers and this includes its leadership.
As the artistic director, Ken Abrams oversees the
musical direction of the Chorus. The day to day
operations of the chorus are handled by a member
volunteer parent board. These board members handle
a variety of responsibilities including the renting
of classroom space, hiring staff, securing concert
venues and managing rehearsals and concerts.
A board member's term is one year, although some
dedicated parents often stay on the board for more
than one year, sometimes in different positions.
Prospective board members can "shadow"
current members to learn about the position responsibilities
and to make the transition from year to year an
easy one. We are usually have positions open on
the board each spring for the following year. If
you would like to help in one of these functions,
please call 837-2624 for more information. We'd
love to have you join us.

Other Positions
In addition to the volunteer Board of Directors
each singer's family is asked to fulfill one volunteer
job during the choir season. These volunteer positions
vary slightly in length, but are usually between
30 minutes and two hours. These positions might include
setting up a concert, chaperoning singers before
a concert, or selling tickets. These dedicated parents
make DGC the wonderful organization it is and provide
singers with an exceptional musical experience.
