Meet Our Board Members

At the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) Georgia Chapter, our dedicated board members are the driving force behind our mission to promote excellence in theatre education. We have four interrelated boards that work collaboratively to support our diverse programs and initiatives: the Executive Board, the High School Board, the Middle School Board, and the Educators Conference Board.

Focused on enhancing theatre education for high school students, the High School Board plans and organizes events such as the annual Georgia Thespian Conference, providing invaluable experiences for students and teachers alike.

The Educators Conference Board is responsible for the Georgia Theatre Educators Conference, offering professional development and networking opportunities specifically for theatre educators across the state.

Our Volunteers

Our boards are comprised of passionate and experienced theatre teachers and industry professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to advance theatre education in Georgia.
