Board of Directors
The Miss Czech-Slovak US Pageant is built on tradition, pride, and the dedication of many—and at the heart of that support is our Board of Directors.
Our Board serves in an advisory capacity to the National Pageant Director and Committee, uniting state designees, former National Directors, and at-large members around a shared mission: to celebrate our heritage and empower the next generation of Czech-Slovak women.
Board Members serve as vital connectors—linking our national vision to local efforts, sharing best practices, and helping our values flourish well beyond Wilber. While the Board does not govern, its impact is far-reaching, and its support is invaluable to the success and growth of our program.
Your presence during Pageant Weekend matters. We ask each state to send a representative annually—not only to attend our Board meeting and events, but to return home energized, informed, and ready to strengthen their state programs. If a Board Member cannot attend, a proxy may join in their place to maintain that connection.
Throughout the weekend, Board Members are encouraged to participate in events, support contestants, and build relationships that carry our legacy forward. One longstanding tradition is the Saturday Silent Auction—an important fundraiser that helps ensure the continued success of our program. Contributions to the auction, our Amazon Wish List, or direct donations are deeply appreciated.
To our Board Members: Thank you. Your dedication, your time, and your belief in this program truly matter. You are not only stewards of our past—you are champions of our future. We are stronger, prouder, and more connected because of you.
