An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language Theatre, is seeking to expand its voluntary board of directors with creative and enthusiastic Irish-language enthusiasts who share a passion for Irish-language theater development.
Founded in 1928, An Taibhdhearc has played a prominent role in the promotion and celebration of the Irish language across the island of Ireland.
The National Irish Language Theatre, which is based in Galway City, is now inviting people to apply to join its "dynamic and impressive" board of directors.
"Invitations are extended to interested persons from across the island of Ireland and internationally. The ability to conduct all Board business through the Irish language is a requirement, as is some level of experience in the arts sector," An Taibhdhearc said in a statement.
In particular, the board is seeking to recruit a treasurer, while it is also seeking to recruit members with marketing, communications, business, and law skills.
The length of the term is four years with an annual schedule of six board meetings.
Dr. Siobhán Nic Fhlannchadha, Chairperson of An Taibhdhearc's board of directors, said joining the board provided an opportunity to be part of one of Ireland's cultural institutions.
"An Taibhdhearc is a special place with magic in the walls. It is a great privilege and a great responsibility to be the custodians of such an important cultural institution, and we look forward to welcoming onto the Board more people who want to share this privilege and responsibility," Nic Fhlannchadha said in a statement.
Interested parties are asked to submit a CV and a one-page cover letter outlining their relevant experience and skills, as well as reasons for wanting to join the board of An Taibhdhearc.
Applications should be emailed to [email protected] by close of business on Thursday 29 February 2024. The requirements for Board Member applicants can be found on the An Taibhdhearc website here or here.
