Our Board of Directors
The DAC board comprises a maximum of nine members, each serving three-year terms, with an average of three seats open for reelection at our annual member meeting in October. Our commitment to the success of the Denali Arts Council lies in maintaining a diverse and well-rounded board that mirrors the community they serve and offers a wide range of skills. We extend a warm invitation to individuals interested in board service to learn about our organization, sit in on a board meeting and apply at any time.
These dedicated board members convene on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. Our meetings are open to the public and typically held at the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar, with occasional sessions at the Talkeetna Library. For location confirmation, please tune in to KTNA Talkeetna 88.9FM or contact the Denali Arts Council directly.
We welcome and encourage input from attendees during our board meetings. Please reach out in advance, so we can out your name on the agenda as Persons To Be Heard.
