ASGT is recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, charitable/educational organization. 

Board of Directors

At the organization’s core is a Board of Directors, consisting of four constitutional officers -- President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer -- and eight directors, each of whom is responsible for a specific operational area.  All members of the Board serve for two-year terms, and half are elected each year to preserve continuity. 
Listed below are the current officeholders, the specific areas of responsibility of the directors and the expiration dates of each term. 

It has become traditional in recent years that the President serves as the shepherd of the business side of the organization while the Vice President oversees the artistic side.  Having said that, however, all members of the board play important roles in both disciplines.  For example, every board member is involved in the selection of productions and directors for each season.  Any board member has an opportunity to serve as “board liaison” for a specific show.  In this role, he or she makes certain that the director and stage manager get what they need to understand and uphold the policies and procedures of the organization.  In addition, one board member is present during each performance of each show, serving as “board member on duty” (BMOD) to assure a smooth-running evening. 

ASGT recently established a Committee sub-structure.  Briefly, we identified specific areas in which special attention is required to improve the organization’s operation and productions.  Examples are Facilities Planning, Artistic Planning, and Marketing/Publicity.  All of the committees are seeking expansion through new volunteers who may have specific knowledge, interest and talent in each area.  To find out more, go to the Management Committees section of this website. 

Meetings

ASGT Board Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month of the year.  Our meetings are held at the Theatre from April through September and at the West Annapolis Elementary School from October through March.  In addition, an Annual Meeting is held annually in September, separate from the board meeting that month.  Board elections are held at the Annual Meeting, and all members in good standing are sent invitations to attend and vote for candidates and on other business matters.  More about membership can be found in the Financial Support section of this website.

By-Laws

Our Constitution and by-laws are open and available upon request.
One of the most important of our new committees is Governance.  This committee is looking at the heart of the organization to determine what, if any, restructure will serve it better.   This committee’s sessions have been lively and constructive!
