PORT ANGELES — As they continue raising money to purchase the shuttered Lincoln Theater and turn it into a nonprofit performing arts center, Scott Nagel and Karen Powell are looking to recruit a governing board.
To that end, the pair will hold the second of three workshops at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the upstairs conference room at The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave.
The meeting, titled “Building an Effective and Efficient Board of Directors,” is open to the public.
Anyone who sits on a nonprofit board or is otherwise interested in how boards work is welcome, said Powell, a consultant who’s worked with companies and nonprofit groups around the Northwest.
Wednesday’s session follows the July 29 meeting in which Powell outlined board members’ responsibilities.
The third workshop, “Creating Profiles for Great Board Members,” is set for Aug. 26, also at 6 p.m. in The Landing conference room.
Nagel, producer of the Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival every October, made an offer of $235,000 on the 99-year-old Lincoln Theater last winter, and set about seeking donations to total that amount.
So far he and Powell have raised about $175,000, and are now seeking major gifts from companies and foundations.
Nagel hopes to be executive director of a reopened, nonprofit theater at the corner of Lincoln and First streets, while Powell plans to recruit board members — business people, artists and community activists — to help renovate and run it.
