Leadership
JazzErie is driven by a wide range of volunteers. Below are our current officers, board members, committee chairs and active volunteers.
We were guided by world-renowned luminaries of the jazz world when we began, listed in our original Advisory Board. We'd like to thank each of them for their generosity.
