The Kennedy Center Board Member Seminar is ideal for teams of current and potential board members and senior staff from arts organizations throughout the country to gain new skills and knowledge in this practical and user-friendly program. Senior staff of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts lead teams in discussions promoting more effective and efficient board leadership.
