Meet The Washington Ballet Board of Directors 


The Board of Ambassadors (BOA) is an exclusive network of key individual and corporate benefactors who support the ballet’s social and artistic mission through their philanthropy. In this Giving Circle, members share a common goal of supporting TWB’s unique role as the ballet of the nation’s capital. With an annual contribution of $10,000, the BOA advances corporate citizenship and the role of the arts in society by providing a crucial networking platform between business, government, and philanthropists.
