About Us – Our Organizational Structure

The Santa Barbara Children's Chorus is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation with a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board meets once a month throughout the year, with various committees meeting as necessary. The Board’s current President is a practicing attorney, and its treasurer a certified public accountant.

Reporting to the Board is the Artistic Director, who enjoys considerable freedom in designing and implementing a program to fulfill the organization's mission. The artistic staff reporting to the Artistic Director includes the directors of our junior choirs, the vocal pedagogues who teach one-on-one voice lessons to our choristers, and our staff accompanists. An Administrative Director currently handles day-to-day administration.

Each parent or guardian of a chorister is a member of the Parents' Guild, the auxiliary organization that conducts an annual fundraiser and assists our staff with day-to-day activities. The elected president of the Parents' Guild is a full voting member of the Board of Directors, giving the parents direct input into the running of the organization.
