Recent changes to Arts Mid North Coast Board members!
A heartfelt thanks go to outgoing Board members who had such a positive impact on the growth of Arts Mid North Coast, and on the creative community during their time with us:
Rob Turner (previous Chair) and Debbie Sommers who have been on the board since 2016, and Donna Ballard who has been on the Board since 2019.
And extend a warm welcome to new Board members:
Cr David Jones delegated representative from Nambucca Valley Council (replacing Susan Jenvey).
Ben Lewis is the Director of Gig Big (River Sounds, Big Bonanza) and Partnerships & Growth Lead at TAFE NSW. Ben has over 15 years’ experience running music events across the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen LGAs, and brings a wealth of local knowledge, industry insight, and a strong network of stakeholders to enhance the strategic direction of the Board.
Wilhemina Wahlin has been involved in the arts and cultural sector for 30 years across theatre, music, design and higher education, and currently works as a Senior Design Strategist at Portable, one of Australia's leading impact-driven design agencies.
Chair, Susan Jenvey will be continuing on as a community member.
We’re looking forward to working with our fresh Board, who bring an amazing array of expertise and passion to developing and supporting the arts sector across the Mid North Coast.
