INVOLVEMENT


Volunteering
ACE encourages all members to become involved in the events and happenings sponsored by ACE.
Volunteering is a great way to learn about the community, make contact with other artists, and to build friendships in and around Easton.
Everything we do at ACE is done by volunteers: from the Arts Tour to the Festivals, to the announcements and the web page, even down to the refreshments at our monthly meetings.

General Member Meeting
Every second tuesday of the month, ACE holds a General Member Meeting at WIlliams Center for the Arts at Lafayette College. This is an opportunity for members to learn about ACE, upcoming events, and the work being done by the committees. There's also an open forum for all members to share their thoughts and announce their own exhibitions that are done outside of ACE. In the second half of the meeting, guest speakers present a variety of topics. In the past we've had such speakers as painter Isadore LaDuca, poet Nancy Scott, and the Easton Main Street Initiative. Finally, the General Members Meeting holds yearly elections for the officers and board of directors; all regular members are encouraged to attend these meetings to vote to select ACE's leadership. The general meeting agenda includes
  • Officers' Reports
  • Upcoming ACE Activities
  • President's Address
  • Members Address
  • Refreshments
  • Monthly Guest Speaker

Committee Meetings

The Committees are made up of volunteer ACE members to organize events and conduct the day-to-day business of running ACE. All members are encouraged to volunteer their hands, hearts and skills to keep the committees thriving.

Each committee chair is responsible for calling meetings of their committee. Committee meetings are called as needed. Event committee meeting frequency is generally more as a event draws near. Other committee meetings are typically more regular throughout the year.

If you are a part of a committee, or would like to be, contact the committee chair for information on meetings.
