The board consists of a mix of community members and Chamber Chorus singers. Membership is currently 8 board members (5 singers, 3 community). The Artistic Director and the Executive Director attend board meetings and participate in an advisory capacity.
The board employs and evaluates the Artistic Director and the Executive Director, guides the Chorus with long-range and short-range planning and reviews, approves the budget, administers Chorus by-laws, is accountable for meeting the Chorus’s legal and fiduciary obligations, increases awareness of choral music as an art form, implements policies for audience development, helps with concert arrangements, helps with fundraising activities (annual donor drive and auction), participates in special chorus committee work, represents the Chorus to the community, and more!

The board meets monthly, usually for two hours, on a Tuesday evening (currently 2 nd Tuesdays) at a Green Lake location in Seattle. We do not meet in December and August. The meeting style is informal, focusing on reports of current and planned activity, with discussion of each item of business. Decision-making is by formal vote after consensus is reached.
Board members are expected to advocate for the organization in the larger Seattle community and to support the chorus with their time, talent, and finances in a manner that is significant to them. There is no minimum financial requirement for serving on the board of directors.

Mission Statement
The Northwest Chamber Chorus presents a broad range of classical repertoire in consistently compelling performances. We create, nurture, and uplift a community inspired by a love of choral music.
Description
Established in 1968, the Northwest Chamber Chorus under the direction of Mark Kloepper, has long been recognized as one of the finest choirs in the Pacific Northwest. The 40-voice ensemble of men and women is critically acclaimed for its compelling performances of the best classical choral music. The group's extensive repertoire ranges from Medieval and Renaissance music to 21st century compositions.
Celebrating its 53nd year of bringing great choral music to audiences in the Puget Sound region, the Northwest Chamber Chorus enjoys large, enthusiastic audiences and extensive support and praise from the arts community. The group is a member of the Greater Seattle Choral Consortium, and is featured often on Classical KING FM as part of the Northwest Focus program. The NWCC offers four commercial CDs including the 40th Anniversary Live!, Songs of the Americas, Handel Coronation Anthems and A Ceremony of Carols CDs.
The Northwest Chamber Chorus has performed with the Seattle Symphony, the Northwest Chamber Orchestra, the Seattle Youth Symphony, Cascadia Brass, the Spectrum Dance Company, ACT Theatre, Philharmonia Northwest, Baroque Northwest, and the renowned Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra as part of their annual Duke Ellington Sacred Concert. The Northwest Chamber Chorus receives financial support from a variety of sources including individual donors, local businesses, an annual Spring Benefit and Auction, and grants from the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and 4Culture of King County.
