Thank you for your interest in assuming a leadership role with TKMA! The Tucson Folk Festival is produced by a passionate group of volunteers that includes a diverse group of professional backgrounds; professional to just-for-fun musicians and non-musicians; and a range of ages and cultural backgrounds reflective of the diverse make-up of the greater Tucson area. Being a part of the team who produces the annual Tucson Folk Festival is a rewarding and meaningful experience, and a valuable contribution to the cultural fabric of the Tucson area. Since 1986, the Board has played a key role in planning and growing the annual showcase of acoustic music.
The Board is currently made up of 9 members-at-large and 4 officers on three year terms. New board members are elected each summer at the annual member meeting, or to fill a vacancy. If you have any questions regarding the Board of Directors Application, board member responsibilities, or TKMA in general, please feel free to contact the Board President.
