STAR POINT COMMITTEES
We believe every member plays an important role in our organization. We encourage all members to get involved by joining a Star Point Committee that aligns with their interests.
ADVOCACY COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Makkedah Miller advocacy@nctae.com
The Advocacy Committee seeks to stay informed of the ever-changing and evolving role of education, specifically arts education, in local, state, national, and world political fields. The mission of the Advocacy Committee is to keep NCTAE informed and responsive to legislation that may affect arts education and to be an active voice in the decisions that affect our classrooms. Advocacy seeks to invigorate the members of NCTAE with a sense of awareness and active involvement.
ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Pete Comperatore enrichment@nctae.com
Professional Enrichment is all about keeping our members passionate about the subject of theatre and contributing to each member's life-long learning. The largest responsibility of this committee is to organize Winter Focus retreats and secure highly trained, accredited professionals to work with our members. The Professional Enrichment Committee also is the think tank behind creating opportunities for teachers and their students to experience enriching experiences that develop them as highly trained thespians.
PLAYWRIGHTS COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Elin Waring playwriting@nctae.com
The NC Young Playwrights Festival is one of NCTAE's most popular and beloved events. There is a great deal of planning and preparation that is needed to produce this event.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Joseph Byrd membership@nctae.com

The Membership Committee strives to grow NCTAE through continuous communication and invitations to all potential members.
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Michael Johnson development@nctae.com
The Development Committee is dedicated to the financial growth of our organization by securing the funds for our future programs, scholarships, and support for all North Carolina Theatre Arts Educators.
