Docent Board of Directors By Steve Krawczel

Every year there is an election for your Docent Board of Directors. A question that some of you may have asked is what does the Board do. A quick summary of its responsibilities is as follows:

 Serves as the direct liaison to the Folger Education Department
 Submits the annual docent budget to the Education Department and approves/monitors budget expenditures
 Oversees docent participation in major activities like the Elementary School/High School Festivals, 12th Night Celebration and Shakespeare’s Birthday Bash
 Tracks docent membership, maintains the monthly schedule and collects hours worked
 Arranges for new docent training
 Reviews changes to docent policy

Just as importantly, the Board seeks to keep you informed and serves as a forum for your ideas and concerns. Your input is welcome! Please contact any Board member with your thoughts, ideas or questions at any time or feel free to attend the Board Meeting the first Tuesday of every month.
