Board of Directors

NTRA, Inc. is run by a board of elected officers who volunteer their time.  Our board is comprised of the core officers as well as ways & means, grounds, concessions and equipment director. Most of our board have lived in the community for many years, played in the programs as children, have children (or grandchildren) in the program and have a tremendous amount of passion for Oliver Thomas.

The board meets at 6:00 pm the second Sunday of each month (except December) at Oliver Thomas Park in the board room.
