Glen Arbor Arts Center’s (GAAC) Executive Director Sarah Kime is parting ways with the organization after six years, but her passion for the work that she does shows in the growth of the nonprofit during her tenure.
In addition to last week’s news of Kime’s departure, incoming board president Jeff Gietzen shared in his message to members that he will be reengaging in the position once again. Gietzen extended his appreciation to Pam Lysaght who completed her two-year commitment as board president as well.
Kime has contributed to GAAC in many ways, including increasing the number and diversity of classes and programs, increased fundraising revenue through contributions, grants, membership and Curator Circle giving. Not only has Kime helped build and support the staff in their growth, she has also developed the Manitou Musician-in-residence program and creative wellness retreats. Other meaningful regional community relationships Kime established include with the Dennos Museum, Interlochen Public Radio, Pine Street Studios/Traverse City Dance Project, Glen Lake Community School and with the Leelanau School.
