Kamloops Art Council announced the appointment of a new Executive Director on Friday.
Terri Hadwin will take the role in the non-profit organization devoted to the development and enhancement of art in the city.
"We are extremely excited to have Terri join the team at the Kamloops Arts Council," said President David Olds. "Her past experience in the local region will be a huge asset to the KAC."
Hadwin was selected for the position due to her years of experience in management, fundraising, public speaking, and event coordination. Her most recent career experience came as Chief Operating Officer of Gold Country Communities, a non-profit regional marketing organization.
"With Gold Country, I learned how to manage and grow a society that had finite resources," said Hadwin. "I have learned that with a passionate Board of Directors, enthusiastic members, caring volunteers and a great team of staff, an organization's accomplishments are limitless."
"I am highly driven to see the arts continue to be available and encouraged with people of all ages in our community. The events and the programs that the Kamloops Arts Council currently offer are well attended and appreciated, and I intend to work hard to keep them thriving. I am also really motivated by the fact that I get to work for an organization that has already started a Strategic Plan for the future."
Hadwin will begin work immediately as the organization prepares for an upcoming exhibit on March 8th.
