Across the Board

The articles featured here appear in the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of Across the Board, a publication of OPERA America for opera company trustees.

From OPERA America's President and CEO:

For many, the fall heralds the start of your opera seasons. At OPERA America, it marks the beginning of a yearlong series of convenings — forums, symposia and an annual conference — that inform company staff and trustees in their work.

This issue of Across the Board looks back on learning points derived from our Opera Conference in June and anticipates some of the governance topics we will discuss at the National Trustee Forum in February.

We believe that the strength of an opera company is sustained by an effective partnership between staff and trustees. I hope this issue inspires you to join us this year and participate in these programs.
