• Chandler announced the appointment of<br />
Tom Ayres as their new Executive<br />
Director. Ayres has been a non-profit<br />
administrator for more than twenty five<br />
years in Vermont. For a decade he was the<br />
Marketing Director of the Flynn Center<br />
in Burlington and for the past four years<br />
has been the Executive Director of First<br />
Night Burlington. Long an admirer of<br />
Chandler, he says Chandler “is one of the<br />
shining gems of the New England arts scene and it exemplifies<br />
what it means for an arts organization to embrace and celebrate<br />
community.”<br />
