2026 Board Responsibilites and Committment Form

"Team Work Makes the Dream Work" and Dance Parade relies on our eight member Board of Directors to provide oversight and leadership for our non-profit organization.

Members of the Dance Parade Board have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure that the organization does the best work possible in pursuit of its mission and goals.

The Steering Committee, Volunteers and the broader dance community we serve are grateful for your support!
