DMCO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Each position has a two-year term, and elections are staggered so that at least three board members remain in office each year. 
Elections are held each spring at the end of each concert season. 

The following musician-members were elected to the Board of Directors by the membership of the Des Moines Community Orchestra.
