Are you looking to develop professionally and personally, and deepen your connection with Tessitura – the technology, the members, and the wider arts and culture industry?
For 2024, we are seeking 1-2 members to volunteer as Community Chairs for the Payments & Transactions Tessitura Community and invite you to join us as a community leader. You’ll be surprised by the impact you can have on people’s lives, careers, and institutions! The Role
Tessitura members come to community groups to expand their networks, share their expertise, and connect with peers around common interests. Community Chairs volunteer their time to build and lead these groups, and host meetups that bring members together to share best practices and build relationships. You'll: - develop and refine critical leadership skills - build valuable new networks - take back tangible ideas and learnings to your work - access training and professional development opportunities - be recognized for your contribution internally at Tessitura and in the wider community
… and more! Each Community Group is led by 2-3 co-chairs - you'll join existing Community Chair Trini Ramos (Monterey Bay Aquarium). Previous experience in group management or facilitation is not required. Tessitura provides initial onboarding, followed by on-going support and various resources. These include a dedicated Community Manager and invitations to events led by the community team, enabling you to connect with our other 100+ Community Chairs globally.

Hello! I'm Karen Lightfoot, a Senior Accountant, General Operations at The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
I'd be interested in co-chairing this Community if you have someone lined up already. I'm pretty new to Tessitura (2+ years at KC on Tess) so I may not have as many answers as others. I'm the Box Office liaison in the Finance Department for KC, researching duplicate payments & reporting Chargebacks coming back from WorldPay, reconciling credit card transactions processed thru Tess at monthend and booking Bank deposits to clear our Credit Card A/R. I've worked in Galaxy a bit at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens before moving back to DC (born and raised in Alexandria nearby) in 2021 and have some systems experience in MAS, Quickbooks, and other systems. I attended the Conference this past year online but really enjoyed the live conference in 2022 and would like to encourage other Community members to meet face to face in the DC Area.
Please let me know if there is a formal application or what additional information you need from me.
thanks,
Karen Lightfoot
