Board of Directors
The Susquehanna Folk Music Society's 13-member Board of Directors is made up entirely of volunteers serving three-year terms. Many Board members are musicians or folkdancers themselves, and all have a passionate interest in keeping the traditional arts alive. Many of them serve as Coordinators of interest areas within SFMS. Several other members have significant responsibilities as well, including our salaried Executive Director.
Committees & Coordinators
SFMS has several committees and individual Coordinators who handle many day-to-day details. Non-Board members are invited to serve in these positions too. More about committees »
Joining the Board
Individuals who are active in the folk community and interested in shaping Susquehanna Folk's future are encouraged to review the job description and contact our Nominating Committee »
