The Kent County Theatre Guild was established and incorporated as a foundation in 1953. The foundation's bylaws created a Board of Trustees to manage the "property, affairs, and business of the Foundation." For reference, a PDF copy of the bylaws may be viewed here. To view this, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader, which may be downloaded free at www.adobe.com/reader.

The Board of Trustees consists of seven members, elected annually. In order to qualify for election, a member must be at least eighteen years old, have paid his or her annual dues, actively participated in the operation of the Guild during the year preceding election, and attended at least two general and/or special meetings during that year.

Nominations for this election take place in March. Any qualified Voting Member may nominate a member who meets the above qualifications, and may vote at the Annual Meeting in April. The qualifications of a Voting Member are the same as those to be nominated, except a Voting Member need only have attended one meeting during the preceding year.

The annual meeting at which the board is elected is held on the second Thursday of April. In 2008, the Annual Meeting was held at 7:00 PM on Thursday, April 10, at the Lobby House. The new board is seated at the next regular meeting, on the first Tuesday of May, at which time officers are elected.

At the Annual Meeting,  the seven nominees were elected to the board by the members present. 

Regular meetings are usually held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Patchwork Playhouse. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, at the Playhouse. Meetings are open; members and others interested in learning more about the Kent County Theatre Guild are welcome and encouraged to attend and participate. 

The tentative agenda for each meeting is usually announced a few days prior to that meeting. The agenda for the next meeting or the most recent meeting may be seen here.
