Arts Midwest

.
Many of you who attended the 2009 Conference already know that Midwest Arts Conference manager Ann Christensen Arndt was expecting her first child — and she and her husband welcomed the new addition to their family last week! Ann and Dave are the proud parents of a little girl, Fiona, and mom and baby are both doing well.

Fiona’s arrival, of course, means that Ann will be on maternity leave through April. In her absence, the Conference team will be assuming her responsibilities, and we are very pleased to announce the return of Megan Torkelson, who was a wonderful addition to the 2009 team as our intern. Megan will be managing the 2010 Spotlight Showcase application and panel process from January through April, and will stay with the team through the 2010 Conference.

If you have questions about the 2010 Conference, please contact us at midwestartsconference@artsmidwest.org and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible.

Congratulations, Ann, and welcome back, Megan!
