NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR THE AMERICAN THEATRE

The National Council for the American Theatre, comprised of 27 leading trustees from TCG member theatres around the country, guides TCG's programs on governance and board development. This prestigious body serves as a brain trust not only for TCG but for the field as a whole. The National Council has a direct impact on the design and implementation of TCG programs and services that, in turn, have a profound effect on the management and governance of America's theatres. Successful programs launched by the Council include the annual Fall Forum on Governance, special sessions for trustees at the annual TCG National Conference, the TCG Bulletin's Centerpiece series on governance issues, and the Trustee Leadership Network.

The National Council for the American Theatre meets twice yearly in New York, including an annual meeting with TCG's board of directors. Members are invited to participate in TCG committees, panels and/or advisory groups, and host a trustee breakfast and moderate breakout sessions at the National Conference, as interest and availability dictate. Members must be on the board of a TCG member theatre, and are nominated by either managing or artistic directors.

All members of the National Council for the American Theatre receive a complimentary subscription to American Theatre magazine, the ArtSEARCH employment bulletin, the monthly TCG Bulletin , Centerpiece and Ben Cameron's field letter, and discounts on TCG Books. In addition, National Council members receive automatic invitations to all TCG forums and conferences.
