The Lithuanian World Center is owned by its members, who elect the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors appoints the Executive Committee and hires the Executive Director, who are responsible for executing the vision established by the Board. Each year in May, during the Members’ Meeting, the Board of Directors informs the members of the work and projects completed since the last meeting. At that time, the members have an opportunity to re-elect members of the Board or to elect someone new. In order to be invited to the 2024 Members’ Meeting and be able to vote, one must have become a member by December 31, 2023.
Membership is awarded to those individuals, organizations, or businesses that have donated a lifetime minimum of $200 to the Lithuanian World Center.
For every incremental $200 donated to the Lithuanian World Center, each member receives 1 incremental vote at the Members’ Meeting. For example, a member who has donated $2,000 over his/her lifetime will have 10 votes. These votes are useful for electing the next Board of Directors and deciding on important resolutions if needed.
If you are not already a member, we invite you to become one today! You can donate $200 or more by check to “Lithuanian World Center” and mailed to:
Lithuanian World Center
14911 127th St.
Lemont, IL 60439
