Langham’s journey towards creating equity and diversity in our theatre is an ongoing process, in which we continue to learn and grow. We recently made a public commitment to make the theatre a safe space for racially marginalized communities. With this in mind, we welcome anyone to consider standing for the board.
Our bylaws require candidates, nominators and seconders to all be members of the theatre. It’s easy to become a member before the AGM and we can connect you with nominators. If you, or someone you know, is interested, would like to stand for office, or just want to learn more about Langham, please contact committee chair, Janine Longy at floyd.janineb@gmail.com
