Adams County Arts Council Executive Director Lisa Cordiano will step down from her position.
“After thoughtful consideration, I’ve decided to step back from my full-time role as Executive Director at the end of November,” said Cordiano. “While I’m leaving day-to-day leadership, I’m working with the Board of Directors to determine how I might best continue to support ACAC as a part-time contractor. I also plan to keep volunteering for community events that have become part of my heart, including the Gingerbread Celebration and Dancing with the Local Stars, coming up January 16.”
“Serving as Executive Director has been an extraordinary privilege. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me by our board of directors, the dedication of our staff and volunteers, and the unwavering support of this community. Together, we’ve expanded programs, built partnerships, and celebrated creativity in countless ways. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished—and even more proud of the spirit of collaboration in our Adams County community that made it all possible.
“Thank you for the honor of serving as Executive Director. Thank you for believing in the arts—and especially for believing in the Adams County Arts Council, whose mission and people continue to inspire me every single day. I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you at the Gingerbread Celebration and Dancing with the Local Stars.”
