Following that deadline, nominees will be contacted to accept or decline their nomination. We will then collect bios from the nominees, so that members in the region can consider each candidate. Once this process is complete, a ballot will be assembled, and sent out shortly thereafter, thereby enabling all members in the Chicago region to participate in a general election.
The Dramatists Guild promotes the core belief that the theatre should be a diverse and inclusive place that holds a mirror up to the world, endorsing the principles of equal opportunity for all who work in the theatre. To these ends, we encourage the nomination of persons of every race, color, culture, age, gender, physical disability, and sexual orientation, in order to move towards achieving a theatre industry, both on and off stage, that reflects the full diversity of American society. We encourage our members to make this a priority when submitting nominations.
