The Board of Directors of Community Arts Music Association of Santa Barbara, Inc. (CAMA), now in its 108th concert season, has elected Nancy L. Wood as board chair.

Also elected to the CAMA Board of Directors for 2026-2027 are Robert L. Castle, vice chair; Jan Bowlus, treasurer; and Christine B. Emmons, secretary.

Wood’s election follows a long record of volunteer leadership with CAMA. She joined the CAMA Women’s Board in 1998, served as its president from 2003-05, and chaired the Women’s Board’s Hidden Gardens Tours for several years.

She was elected to CAMA’s Board of Directors in April 2005, serving until 2012. During that time she served as second vice president, and chaired CAMA’s International Circle.

After returning to Santa Barbara following 10 years in Oakland, California, Wood was again elected to CAMA’s Board of Directors in 2022, and served as first vice chair for the 2025-26 season.

Wood has also been on the Lotusland Board of Trustees and was a Lotusland docent for many years. She served on the steering committee of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art Collectors’ Council, and was a member of the Westmont College Reynolds Gallery (now Westmont Ridley-Tree-Gallery) Art Council.

In 2004, she was named Volunteer of the Year for Santa Barbara County by the Santa Barbara/Ventura Counties Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

A 30-year resident of the Santa Barbara area, Wood now lives in Montecito.
