Leadership

The Board of Directors of The Eugene O’Neill Society meets annually in conjunction with the national convention of the American Literature Association (ALA) or at the Comparative Drama Conference (CDC), or at the Society's International Conference (every three years). A scholarly and/or performance-related panel sponsored by the O’Neill Society typically takes place yearly at the above locations as well as the Modern Language Association (MLA) conference. In addition, members of the Eugene O’Neill Society represent the organization when participating in the many yearly events and activities inspired by O’Neill’s abundant legacy.
