Become a GVPAF Board Member

We are 3 years out from our 100th anniversary and we are looking for 3 new board members! The time commitment is modest, but the rewards are substantial (those are emotional and spiritual rewards not financial as we are a non-profit ). This year is the year to say thank you to the performing arts community that does so much to make Greater Victoria the special place it is!
