The Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company is an organization run by its membership.  Once a year, at an Annual Meeting the company elects a volunteer Board of Directors from among its membership, to facilitate the production of the next show.  While eight company members serve for a one-year term, according to the company bylaws, additional members, such as the second Publicity Board member, are occasionally included, as in the current season.
