Talented Leaders Strongly Supporting the McLean Orchestra
The Forte Leadership Circle is a new and unique opportunity for talented leaders in McLean and surrounding communities who are passionate about the McLean Orchestra and McLean Youth Orchestra to express their support for our fabulous musicians and programs while also benefiting from the promotion of their personal talents and skills through the Orchestra.
Every member of the Forte Leadership Circle will be individually profiled (as seen below) with a photograph and full biography on a special page on the McLean Orchestra website. The entire Forte Leadership Circle also will be acknowledged in various printed materials and email communications sent by the Orchestra to a wide audience. For a fully tax deductible annual membership of only $1,000, this is an unparalleled opportunity to stand up and be counted as a community leader who supports performing arts, and especially the McLean Orchestra and McLean Youth Orchestra!
To join, please contact Executive Director John Huling at exec@mclean-orchestra.org.
