As they say in radio: …in three, two, one, we’re LIVE!  And we are just that at the Tannery. The Tannery Arts Center Board of Directors hired Rachel Anne Goodman as the new Executive Director to lead the nonprofit and raise funds for the Performing Arts Center.  As a lifelong radio journalist, Rachel joins the Tannery community with a strong background in fundraising and nonprofit arts management as well as extensive ties to the local community.  She was most recently employed as Assembly member Bill Monning’s District Director and Press Secretary where she ran constituent services for the district and was in charge of press relations.

Before serving as Mr. Monning’s District Director Ms. Goodman was adjunct professor at Cabrillo College and a Peabody-Award winning radio journalist. She is a seasoned grant writer and served as Development Director at a large nonprofit arts and media center in eastern Kentucky called Appalshop. In her own words, Ms. Goodman states:

“I am truly honored to be asked to lead The Tannery Arts Center and to help it grow into its full potential as a creative center for our community. I look forward to working with the board and staff to help complete this ambitious and vital project.”

Help us welcome Rachel Anne Goodman and build the Performing Arts Center at the Tannery!

From Organizing Committee to Project Director to Treasurer of Board of Directors, GEORGE NEWELL is a treasure to the Tannery Arts Center with his endless enthusiasm and dedication to  the arts. In his tenure as Project Director, George established our non-profit status, secured several grants including $2,000,000 from the Hewlett Foundation, and is a major donor to the Performing Arts Center.  Now as Treasurer, he will continue enrich the project. Bravo and deepest appreciation, George!
