Board of directors

The Ballet Chesapeake Board of Directors was initiated in June 2001 when a core group of DCM Parents’ Guild members saw that the administrative needs of the organization were growing and oversaw the creation of Ballet Chesapeake (then Harford Ballet Company) as a non-profit organization. The established Board continues today to support Ballet Chesapeake to accomplish its mission and goals as the company continues to grow.
