Last night, the Dauphin and District Allied Arts Council held their Annual General Meeting.
Towards the end of the meeting, some power positions on the board of directors got switched around. Michelle Nyquist stepped down as President, moving into the Past President role. Adriene Luke, who was the Past President moved into the Vice President position. Yvonne Lillie, who was the vice president, was promoted to the president of the board of directors for the 2018-19 year.
The arts council had a very successful 2017-18 year compared to the 2016-17 year, making much more money this past year. Yvonne Lillie has plans to make more money this next year.
“We also have a new project being developed by one of our members. It’s providing things that people can purchase things that have art from our local people put onto these things. There are phone cases, shirts, leggings, notebooks, cards and all these things. That’s going to be new.”
Terra Matthews stayed on as secretary and Mark Tiefenbach will continue as Treasurer.
Seven out of the nine General Board Members from 2017-18 are staying for 2018-19.
