Board of Directors

The Steel Beam Theatre Board of Directors takes an active role in guiding the future of the theatre. That’s why we strive to create a board that offers a diverse view of the arts and the communities we serve. We seek new members who are as passionate as we are about fostering the arts in St. Charles and the Tri-Cities region.

We seek new members from the community who bring special skills and experience in business, finance, fundraising, local retail, real estate and the law, as well as those who participate in civic groups such as Kiwanis, Rotary, United Way, and others. Those who have established—or are putting down—deep roots in the St. Charles community and wider Fox Valley and have engaged in networking and building a following are welcome either as patrons, board members or friends.

What do Board Members Do?

Board representatives are expected to serve on a board committee, actively engage in fund-raising and contribute to the financial health of the organization, assist at theatre events and functions, and promote and advance the theatre’s mission and goodwill in the community.

The board gathers for monthly meetings at regularly scheduled times.

As the name suggests, Steel Beam provides a pillar of the community, offering a gathering place for those deeply interested in fostering the arts in downtown St. Charles, as well as the surrounding cities (South Elgin, Batavia, Geneva and West Chicago), and the Fox Valley region.

Our mission includes developing programs that build and foster interest in the performing arts for future generations. To that end, we are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization in order to pursue youth and community outreach, training and education.
