All of us at Nightwood are filled with admiration and gratitude as our long-standing Board Chair Susan Hodkinson passes the baton to valued board member and Vice-Chair Tara Remedios this season. We are endlessly thankful to both these incredible community leaders for all they do to support Nightwood’s misson.
Susan shares, “My involvement with Nightwood has been a true highlight of my career and my life. The opportunity to work with and learn from the gifted and passionate artists and leaders who are associated with the company has been a privilege for which I am deeply grateful. I am very proud to pass the leadership of the board to Tara Remedios, who I know will lead and serve with vigour and commitment. While my time as Board Chair has ended, I will remain forever a friend of Nightwood, and will watch the continuing evolution of the company with great admiration and affection.”
Incoming Board Chair Tara says, “Over the last two years, it has has been a pleasure to work alongside such a passionate group of change-makers, who selflessly strive for women, non-binary, and other marginalized voices to be heard. Susan Hodkinson has made tremendous contributions to the growth of this vital organization and I am honoured to be following her as the next Board Chair. In my short time with the company, Nightwood Theatre’s mission (and its ambition as a company) has widened to offer new opportunities, create new communities, and welcome the next generation of artists, schemers, and collaborators.”
