Volanté Academy Arts Council

Members of the Arts Council are up-standing persons in the community, who care about children and about the future of our communities.  They are volunteers who desire to encourage and enhance the Fine Arts in Yavapai County.
 
Members are:
 
     Mary Baker
     Loralee Nye
     Steve Parker
     Rebecca Reviere
     Jim Robak
     PV Mayor Harvey Skoog
     Mary Topero
     Harold Wise


Council members offer their time and talents to further the cause of the academy in recruiting Memberships, inviting endowments, donations, equipment, and generally acquainting the people of Yavapai County as to the important programs the academy has to offer to children, youth, and adults.
 
The council members work on projects together at times, but generally, they are free to work independently, casually doing their own scheduling and planning.   They are kept informed of all changes and progress taking place in the academy's program.  They use their own discretion as to how much of their time and involvement they choose to utilize.
 
They are a vital part of the academy's program and are very much loved and appreciated by the Board of Directors, Staff, Instructors, and the children!
 
If you wish to become a part of this important organization, please call Jan Luke at 772-1218 or send an e-mail to volanteacademy@q.com.
