Lexington Ballet Governance Description
The Board of Directors of the Lexington Ballet believes thoughtful and forward-looking leadership as well as effective and efficient governance are essential to ensure the long- term success of the organization and to provide accountability to the greater community. We have identified the Lexington Ballet Patron Society members to be the “moral owners” of the organization and hold ourselves accountable to them for all aspects of the Lexington Ballet's operations. We also recognize that we must be responsive to other relevant constituents.
The Board of Directors believes that clarity of roles and responsibilities as well as utilization of well-defined processes are key to effective governance. As such, the Board concentrates on the long-term strategy consideration, monitoring of management as well as Board and management succession. The Board believes that effective management of the organization is best accomplished through delegating authority to a collaboration between an Artistic Director and an Executive Director subject to defined limits. The Board directs managers by establishing goals and defining results to be achieved by the organization and holds managers accountable through a reporting process, direct inspection
as well as third-party assessments.
The Board has defined a set of Governance Policies encompassing the areas of organizational goals, management limitations, delegation and reporting as well as the Board's own conduct to help establish a framework for the governance of the Lexington Ballet.
