The Festival has an eighteen-member board with a president and one vice president. It consists of a mix of local and seasonal business persons, supporters and members of the artistic community. The board is supported by an appointed advisory committee. Beginning in 1997 the board has taken on the role of artistic direction and decision making and there is definitely a community feeling amongst its members.
In most cases volunteers who previously directly supported the festival of the arts are now volunteers of the Algonquin Theatre. Occasionally the festival presents programming outside of the theatre and requires volunteer support.
