Dance Information

Devised in fond memory of Donnie Muirhead, a much loved and respected member of Dunedin Dancers and chairman from 1989 to 1993.

The chairman is the highest office of an organized group such as a board, committee, or deliberative assembly.

The person holding the office is typically elected or appointed by the members of the group. The chairman presides over meetings of the assembled group and conducts its business in an orderly fashion. When the group is not in session, the officer's duties often include acting as its head, its representative to the outside world and its spokesperson.
