THE Guilds of The Santa Fe Opera, INC.
The Guilds of The Santa Fe Opera, Inc. is the "umbrella organization" for the six Guild chapters. It is a separately organized, 501(c)3 corporation. The officers of Guilds Inc. are members of the individual Guild chapters. Guilds Inc. functions as a clearing house for all of the Guild chapters by being a catalyst for action and ideas as well as disseminating program ideas and strategies, especially those related to education and advocacy.
During 2010-2012, Guilds Inc. is committed to be involved in the following:
1. Joint Santa Fe Opera/Guilds Inc. Advocacy Program: This involves harnessing the talents of local chapter members on "Opera Day" at the Roundhouse during the 2011 Legislative session; alerting appropriate policymakers to the Opera's Spring Opera Tour involvement in their communities; and helping create awareness at the Policymaker's Dinner at the Opera in late June 2011.
2. Overall Enhancement of Communications Between the Guilds and the Public: This will focus on membership growth by increasing visibility in the communities by communicating and collaborating with other non-profit organizations to present opera and music-related programs in public venues at little or no charge.
