President Lindy is traveling in the Netherlands, so Past President Dan Halloran will be presiding this week.
Our speakers last week were from the Bear Yuba Land Trust. Erika Seward and Robin Milam shared some interesting information about the mission of the Land Trust and how they protect our area. Interesting presentation!
Thanks to our latest Bellringers! Dan Halloran and Debbi Corbett rang the bell and passed their fines along to Mike Dobbins and Dave Walker, and Joyce Feldman became a bellringer (figuring she was going to be fined for her ringing phone anyway).
This week we hear from Eliza Tudor of the Nevada County Arts Council. Eliza Tudor's experience as an arts leader spans the visual, literary and performing arts across three continents. From ten years producing film and theatre in Australia, to producing opera, Ancient Greek theatre and ballet in the Sierra, Eliza then moved to the UK to complete her MA in Cultural Policy. Eliza returned in February 2015 to direct Yuba Sutter Arts, then in 2016 accepted the role of Executive Director with Nevada County Arts Council. Since late 2016 Eliza has focused solely on Nevada County Arts Council, in 2017 gaining state recognition for Nevada County through consulting two successful applications for California Cultural District designation. She currently sits on the board of directors for both California Arts Advocates and Californians for the Arts, and in late 2018 was recognized for her outstanding leadership by the California Senate, Congress and Assembly.
