SANTA FE WOMEN’S ENSEMBLE ADMINISTRATION

The Santa Fe Women’s Ensemble is managed by a volunteer board of directors consisting of 5-20 members. We are currently seeking new Board member candidates and hope you will consider serving. Please read the letter below.

Dear Friends of the Santa Fe Women’s Ensemble,

The Women’s Ensemble is recruiting new board members. You don’t have to have a music background, just an interest in music and in furthering the Ensemble’s mission, which is “to present adventurous programming in live and online choral performances, to commission new music for treble voices, and to engage in community outreach and education.”

Board members serve an initial three-year term and may be re-elected for a second three-year term. Board meetings are held via a Zoom call at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings, approximately six to eight times per year.

For more details, please click here to read a document outlining (1) a short history of the Santa Fe Women’s Ensemble; (2) the Ensemble’s mission; (3) duties of board officers; and (4) general board responsibilities.

If you have questions or would like to apply for board membership, please contact Board President Terrell Falk at her email address [email protected]. If you prefer to communicate by phone, please use our phone number 505-303-8648. If we miss your call, please leave a voicemail stating your interest in Board service and we will get back to you asap.

Thank you for your past and future support of the Women’s Ensemble. We greatly appreciate it.

Best regards,

Terrell Falk

She enjoys working with tuning forks to bring healing tone into the body in her practice at Ancient Tides Wellness. She expresses other creative outlets through training Waldorf teachers.

Nancy Maret, administrator, wandered west from New York to Santa Fe in 1994. She has enjoyed singing and volunteering for the Ensemble enough to take an administrative role.
