The Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) has appointed Caitlin Pontrella of the Valtas Group as the interim executive director of Edmonds Center for the Arts. Her appointment follows former Executive Director Kathy Liu’s departure in November.
“Caitlin brings a remarkable blend of clarity, strategic insight and heart for community that aligns beautifully with ECA’s mission,” said ECA Associate Executive Director Lori Meagher. “I’m thrilled to welcome her to ECA’s leadership team and look forward to the impact we will create together in this next chapter of our work.”
Pontrella is seasoned interim CEO and nonprofit executive with extensive experience in guiding arts, culture, education, human services and community-based organizations through periods of transition and growth, according to an ECA announcement.
“I’m looking forward to working alongside the ECA board and staff to provide stability and continuity during this transition,” Pontrella told My Edmonds News. “My focus will be on ensuring the organization remains well-supported and able to deliver on its mission, while creating the conditions for staff, board, and community partners to continuing doing their best work. In just a short time, I’ve already seen how much care and commitment surrounds ECA. I’m grateful to be part of stewarding the organization through this next chapter.”
I look forward to new leadership at ECA. Pontrella appears to have a great resume and is younger than most of the subscribers at ECA.
Let’s bring in great acts for the benefit of Edmonds entire business community.
