The Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council (PLRAC) has no openings on the Board of Directors at this time.

Board Members are appointed through an open nomination process. The board is comprised of thirteen members, one from each of the nine counties and one from each city over 10,000 population. Board members serve a three-year term with a maximum of two terms. Monthly evening meetings are held the fourth Thursday of the month, in Mankato, at Bethany Lutheran College. Board members are reimbursed for their mileage to meetings. Attendance at several PLRAC funded arts events per year is required.

Last year the board awarded 200 grants for a total of $385,200. The Council makes policy decisions and develops the plan for the regional arts program, which is submitted to the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB). The PLRAC serves a nine-county area and receives funding from the Minnesota State Legislature and McKnight Foundation, Minneapolis.
