Seeking New Board Members

/

Dear Members and Friends,

LANA is looking for prospective Board members who are aligned with the mission of the lyre in our time as expressed in LANA’s mission statement:

The Lyre Association of North America is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to initiate, to inspire, and to support the sounding of the lyre in artistic, pedagogical, and therapeutic activities in North America and throughout the world.

We are an active board, and members are asked to serve in various working groups as needed for the smooth running of our organization.

At present, the LANA Board working groups are organized by their connection to the designations of the Three-fold Social Order:

  • Cultural Realm: Events (Conference, Study, and Workshops), Publications, and Outreach (Website, Blog)

  • Economic Realm: Finance, Music Sales, and Lyre Rental program

  • Rights Realm: Membership, Lyre Connection program, and Governance 

In addition, LANA has a Coordinating Circle that consists of the officers and rotating Board members. The Coordinating Circle sets the agenda for our monthly Board meetings and establishes priorities for the organization’s work.

Each Board member is elected for a term of three years. Participation in monthly Zoom conference calls constitutes the major part of our collegial work. Communication for committee work is additional.

At this time, we are in need of someone interested in helping us in the Membership Working Group. Experience with spreadsheets, database management, etc. would be a plus to communicate with members and support new lyre players, though these skills are not required. 

If you are interested in learning more about the LANA Board of Directors and would consider becoming a member of our Board – or if you would be interested in being a non-board member of the Membership Working Group – please contact me at nancycarpenter680@gmail.com.

Nancy Carpenter, President
