PANAMA CITY SYMPHONY BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Leadership and Community Stewardship

“As a third-generation native of Panama City, 

I’ve had the pleasure of watching the Symphony 

become what it is today: 

an engaging and vital artistic treasure.” 

Panama City Symphony is governed by a passionate, working Board of Directors. As a board-driven organization, our members generously contribute their time, unique professional talents, and financial support (“time, talent, and treasure”) to ensure the artistic excellence and financial sustainability of the Symphony.

Our Board is committed to bringing world-class orchestral music and vital music education programs to the Bay County community.

Governance & Operations

To maintain the highest standards of non-profit management, the Board operates under organizational bylaws and standard parliamentary voting procedures.

• Active Oversight: The Board meets monthly and maintains continuous communication to oversee the Symphony’s strategic direction, community partnerships, and long-term vision.
• Commitment to Mission: Board members serve as ambassadors, fundraisers, and strategic leaders, bridging the gap between our onstage artistry and the community we serve.

Fiscal Responsibility & Transparency

Panama City Symphony is dedicated to financial stewardship. We honor the investment of our donors, corporate sponsors, and patrons through rigorous internal controls and independent financial oversight:

• Dual-Authorization Controls: To ensure accountability, all organizational expenditures require the formal review and approval of two authorized Board members.
• Monthly Accounting Oversight: Financial statements are reviewed monthly to maintain adherence to our annual operating budget.
• Independent Audits: To guarantee transparency and compliance with non-profit regulations, our financial records undergo audits and reviews conducted by independent, external accounting firms.
