The ISE receives governance, policy and planning input from four different groups of community members:
- Our governance Board of Directors
- Our Board of Trustees
- Our Board of Community Advisors, and
- Our Young Professionals Association
Without these passionate, dedicated volunteers and experienced community leaders, The Iowa Shakespeare Experience would be nothing more than a Midsummer’s Dream. Join us in a salute to their commitment to the arts and to our community.
The ISE Board of Directors is the sole governance body of the organization.
