Across the Board

The articles featured here appear in the Spring/Summer 2022 issue of Across the Board, a publication of OPERA America for opera company trustees.

From OPERA America's President and CEO:

Across the Board debuted four years ago. You surely share my relief that our field is beginning to return to some semblance of those pre-pandemic years — yet now with the opportunity to achieve something new.

Our annual conference, in Minneapolis and online, invites you to reconsider your company missions and how you serve your communities. The featured interview in this issue offers guidance on how to think about the strategic planning that will underscore this important work.

The future of our field relies on you — on engaged board members who can leverage the resources of OPERA America to steward your companies. It’s why we’ve been challenged with a gift of $50,000 to recruit or re-enroll at least 100 opera company trustees into our membership before June 30.

If you’re not yet a member of OPERA America, I hope you will join — for just $75. You can benefit from everything OPERA America offers while helping to unlock this generous gift in support of our service to the entire field.
