Trustees

The Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) Trustees Committee are appointed by DRAA’s Board of Directors in recognition of their outstanding commitment to the DRAA and the Lesher Center for the Arts. They serve as invaluable ambassadors to enhance DRAA’s work to promote high-quality artistic, education, and community outreach programs at the Lesher Center. This group of highly engaged leaders in the East Bay business and the community sectors volunteer endless hours, donate generously to the DRAA themselves, serve actively on Board Committees, participate in fundraising to support DRAA and Lesher Center events, and use their extensive professional and community networks to raise the profiles of the DRAA and Lesher Center’s programs in the East Bay and beyond.

Please contact info@draa.org if you or someone you know is interested in becoming a member of our Trustees Committee.
