Who it's for

Boards that change hands

Many fair boards are run by volunteers, and members turn over. New officers often start with a box of old files. These templates give the next board a clean place to start.

  • Board members and officers

    Presidents, secretaries and treasurers who keep the records.

  • Fair managers and office staff

    The people who collect sponsor forms, vendor paperwork and volunteer sign-ins.
