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.
