The Ballet Chesapeake Board of Directors was established in June 2001, when a core group of DCM Parents’ Guild members recognized that the organization's administrative needs were expanding. They oversaw the creation of Ballet Chesapeake (then known as Harford Ballet Company) as a nonprofit organization. The established Board continues to support Ballet Chesapeake in accomplishing its mission and goals as the company grows today.

Among other responsibilities, board members play a key role in raising funds for our organization.
It is an expectation of board service that you will introduce people in your sphere of influence to our work and invite them to know and do more – as prospective volunteers, board members, staff, and as donors.
