Expectations Cont.
Event Attendance: We expect board members to purchase tickets for RSO regular season concerts, whether or not they are able to attend. To the extent possible, we encourage board members to attend other RSO concerts and events, such as chamber music performances and fundraisers. Financial Support: We expect each board member to make an annual financial contribution to the RSO (no later than December 31 of each year) of at least $1000, in addition to the purchase of season concert tickets, or to obtain a financial contribution to the RSO of at least that amount from a third-party donor. If there are circumstances affecting a board member’s ability to make such a commitment, or if a board member believes he or she can make equally valuable in-kind contributions, those should be discussed with the president of the board, who may seek advice from the executive committee.In addition, board members are expected to support the RSO’s overall fundraising efforts with their time, as well as additional contributions. Advocacy: We expect each board member be part of our leadership team. This includes enthusiastically advocating for the RSO’s mission, goals and programming in interactions with friends and neighbors, in community forums, and wherever there is an opportunity to promote the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra.
