The spirit of an organization are the people who work behind the scenes to create the environment that showcases musical talent.

The La Mirada Symphony (LMS) is artistically vital to Los Angeles or Orange Counties and invites interested patrons, investors and business people to volunteer to serve on the Board of Directors.

The LMS is taking the current pandemic as an opportunity to recreate. One of these new directions is adding to its Board of Directors, through a deliberate recruitment process focused on specific skills, backgrounds and geographic locations, and to support the continued growth and development of the organization. The La Mirada Symphony is seeking board members who have a passion for the arts, education, and serving the community.

Some of the action items for board members are:

• – Attend monthly board meetings (which can be done from home via Zoom),
• – Carry out activities within the committee structure,
• – Attend concerts and events; participate in brainstorming and raising funds for the organization, and
• – Provide overall governance and strategic direction to the organization.

Specific needs of the board currently include expertise in finance, marketing and communications (including social media), website development, community connections, and willingness to raise funds. 

We are also moving into the direction of creating content for our digital platforms. Those with experience in media production and producing Web series are encouraged to apply.

Representation from diverse communities is very important to the organization.

With an annual budget of exceeding $100,000 and a professional administrative and artistic team, the LMS is home to over 100 artists and student musicians. The LMS is a nonprofit corporation with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
