\u201cIt\u2019s been a great ride!<\/strong> And I hope it continues with others in the drivers\u2019 seats,\u201d says Gail Bradley, a co-founder of Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival. The festival just concluded its 12th year, and Bradley expects next year will be even better\u2014with others at the helm. Bradley is retiring from the Board, along with Deb Bailey, Brian Fulp and Lisa Champeau. Bailey and Fulp have been with Roots & Rhythm from its humble beginnings in 2006. While Champeau only joined the Board in 2014, she has worked on the media committee since 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Roots board is one of the hardest-working\u2014and most fun\u2014 I\u2019ve ever been involved with,\u201d says Champeau. \u201cTo produce a free-of-charge, green, sustainable music and arts festival year after year that today brings about 6,000 people into Honesdale is nothing short of remarkable.\u201d Champeau had particular praise for Bradley, Bailey and Fulp\u2014who \u201cwere there at the beginning, never gave up and expanded the festival\u2019s offerings each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remaining members of the Board \u2013 Jamie Stunkard, Randy Kohrs, Bill Bellhorn and Ruth Dunn\u2014are now looking for board replacements for the outgoing members. \u201cWe have many committees \u2013 Food, Media, Art, Tunes & Tales\u2014and we hope some of the folks on those committees will be interested in stepping up to the board role,\u201d says Stunkard. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of young, enthusiastic and community-minded talent in Honesdale. Some of them are already invested in Roots. We would encourage them to help the festival evolve to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Board members meet throughout the year, although meetings are more frequent closer to the festival, which happens the third Saturday in June. They also attend committee meetings. If you or someone you know is interested in joining the board, send an email explaining your interest and qualifications to ghp@visithonesdalepa.com. All candidates must be nominated by a committee member. The nomination process includes an interview. Nominations are due by September 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
