the board of directors
As a non-profit 501 c(3) organization, the Averitt Center for the Arts is governed by a board of directors, consisting of community members who actively advocate for the mission and purpose of the Averitt Center. The Averitt Center Board consists of a variety of area business professionals and arts enthusiasts that volunteer their time, support, and expertise for the organization as a whole. These forward-thinking members assist and guide the Averitt Center staff, seeking to speak for all sections and demographics of the Statesboro area.
