Sustaining & Supporting the Dayton Art Institute

The Associate Board is a working board responsible for planning, executing, and ensuring the financial success of the DAI’s largest fundraising events: Art Ball and Oktoberfest.

The Associate Board has been one of the most meaningful experiences we’ve had both as a couple, but also as individuals. We have made lifelong friends and been able to experience hands-on fundraising in a very unique way.
