What Texas Music Partners is Looking for, In a Board Member
Texas Music Partners is a small and relatively new organization trying to build a diverse board that is close-knit, like family, where our skills complement each other and teamwork is paramount. We are focused on succeeding in our mission. Our board is a working board. We need well-connected people with an entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitudes that can work together. We are currently developing committees to help move our mission forward as well.
