The Leadership Arts Board Fair and Graduation Celebration is the culmination of the 2025-2026 Leadership Arts program. We are thrilled to be hosted at the Lone Tree Arts Center this year on Wednesday, May 6.
- 4:00 – 5:30 pm Cultural Nonprofit Board Fair. This annual event enables dozens of cultural nonprofits to meet Leadership Arts alumni and explore ways to get involved.
- 5:30 – 7:00 pm Leadership Arts Graduation Celebration. This graduation ceremony and reception will recognize the 2025-2026 cohort with food, drinks, and entertainment. They become part of an extensive Leadership Arts Alumni Network with 1,200 graduates in the last 29 years.
For Nonprofit Organizations
The Board Fair is an opportunity for arts and cultural nonprofit organizations of all sizes and types to meet Leadership Arts graduates and start the conversation about volunteer service and engagement.
Register here! Cultural nonprofit organizations must register by Wednesday, April 15.
CBCA wants all participating organizations to put their best foot forward. To help you prepare, here are some useful Board Fair Recruiting Materials. We also encourage organizations to be ready with other opportunities for people to get involved, such as committee positions, advisory roles, volunteering, attending upcoming events, etc.
CBCA will send additional details about the Board Fair (what to bring, where to park, etc.) in advance of the event. Don’t hesitate to contact Meredith Badler at mbadler@cbca.org if you have questions.
