The 2026 Annual Meeting for members of the Loudoun Arts Council will take place on Monday, February 23, 2026, from 6:30 until 7:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room at Douglass Community Center in downtown Leesburg.

The agenda for the evening includes:

• An update from special guest Christina Schmitt, Dean of Non-traditional Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, who will talk about the transformative effect the Arts have had for adult learners with disabilities who are incarcerated
• The President’s Report on recent and future plans, including the formation of the Loudoun Arts Advisory Board, a handful of LAC Professional members who will bring their arts organizations’ experience and opinions to inform strategic and unified arts advocacy and communication efforts
• The Treasurer’s Report on our financial condition and outlook
• A Question and Answer session for those present — we want to hear your ideas!
• Nominations and voting for new board members

All of our hard-working current members of the Board have offered to serve the second year of their two-year term. Plus we are thrilled to announce the addition of two new nominees, Margaret Brown and Kristin Sawyer, whose biographical information can be found here.
