"These individuals bring a breadth of expertise and experience that we need to be effective in both running a highly complex business, and in responding to the needs of our community.  They've generously commited their time and talent to help us create the vibrant cultural scene the region needs to thrive, and to enrich the lives of each member of our community, and particularly our kids. "We also look forward to the leadership of Jeff Hay, who has been a highly effective Board member and officer for a number of years.  We are deeply grateful to outgoing Chair Kristin Hills Bradberry for her leadership, vision and service to our community."
