WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
Shane Staiger
Hello, TAG members!
And so begins my term as President of the Board. I’m very much looking forward to the upcoming year, in large part due to the wonderful members that are serving on the Board with me. Big thanks to our outgoing President, Mary Kelly, for all her work and support and for all the support she will continue to give us *wink*. Hugs and thanks to our departing board members, Lois Nemec, Jerry Onik, Randall Stevens, and Allison Wissman. We all appreciate everything you have done for the organization and we will miss you! Welcome to our newest board members: Noah Diaz, Sonia Keffer, Joshua Mullady, and Jennifer Pool. I look forward to working with you all. And, of course, big thanks to all our returning board members. I would never have accepted this role if I didn’t think highly of every single one of you.
Things to look forward to in the next year:
Implementation of our brand new website and electronic newsletter
Expansion of the theatre services forum and revision of the grant program
Possible new location for the TAG Awards
New ideas for fundraising from our Ways and Means committee As happens with any time of change, there are bound to be some growing pains along the way. Please be patient with us and be sure to let us know any comments, suggestions, or thoughts you may have about TAG. We are here for our members and we’d love to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Debbie K.

***New TAG EBLAST Policy***
Great news! The TAG Newsletter is going to be moving straight to your inbox! No more having to remember your password to login to the website to download a form. TAG is adopting an eblast service which will send much of the same content you enjoy today directly to you. Additional content will be available on the website in the public (not password protected) area. We believe that with our mission to promote live theatre in the Omaha metro and surrounding areas it is best to share show and audition information with anyone who cares to see it. The advantage to you as a TAG member is that each month you will be receiving the emailed version of the newsletter whereas nonmembers will need to check the website for updated news. Those who prefer to receive a hard copy in the mail will continue to receive those. With this exciting change in direction, we also have new limitations with the number of eblasts we can send monthly. Therefore, information that arrives past deadline will be added to the website but will no longer receive a dedicated eblast. These will instead be reserved for true emergencies beyond the control of any theatre as determined by the editor i.e. the sad news of the death of a TAG member, an instance when a theatre must find a replacement actor close to opening or important, time-sensitive TAG notifications. Thank you in advance for understanding the new policy and we hope that you are as excited as we are about these advancements!
