The Ashwaubenon Performing Arts Center (PAC) Volunteer Community Advisory Board members share inspiration, advise, and collaborate in strategic planning, fund raising, research and development, marketing, and execution of the presentation of performing arts events appealing to the educational, recreational, and entertainment needs and desires of the greater Ashwaubenon community.
The sole purpose of the Community Advisory Board is to collaborate with, offer insight, and support the PAC’s Executive Director with planning and implementation activities related to the PAC and the community’s performing arts events to be hosted at the Ashwaubenon PAC. The Advisory Board operates strategically to support programming, research and development, marketing, and fundraising to ensure the offering of highly desirable, affordable, educational and entertaining events for our community.
While the PAC supports the curricular and recreational performing arts events for the schools and community alike, the Ashwaubenon PAC Community Advisory Board focuses its time and effort on collaboration with the PAC Executive Director for the provision of community event offerings and the needs of the PAC.
