Our Board

The Lake Area Community Band is managed by an Executive Committee of ten voting members, eight of whom are elected by their fellow band members. Officers are elected annually; Members at Large are elected for two year terms.  The Musical Director and Assistant Director, also members of the Executive Committee, are appointed rather than elected.  For the 2020 season, the Executive Committee consists of the following:
