New Chairs to head TNB Board of Governors and TNB Foundation
Theatre New Brunswick has welcomed Chris Baker as a the new Chair of the TNB Board of Governors. Baker replaces Ilkay Silk who has chaired the Board of Governors for six years. In May Silk will assume the Chair of the TNB Foundation which was formed in 2003 as a separate fundraising body to promote the public profile and financial stability of Theatre New Brunswick allowing it to meet its challenges, fulfill its mandate and grow.
“Ilkay has guided the board through a challenging restructuring of the company to a period of real growth ,” said TNB Artistic Producer Caleb Marshall. “Chris has the experience to help see that growth continue and see TNB continue to provide extraordinary theatre that inspires and entertains our audience while celebrating New Brunswick’s best theatre content and artists.”
Marshall extended thanks to the outgoing Chair of the TNB Foundation Clare McCain.
“It’s really not an overstatement to say that without Clare’s tireless work there would be no TNB Foundation. She led the charge on this from the very beginning and during a very challenging period in Theatre New Brunswick’s history,” said Marshall. “Her dedication and effort raised significant funds that helped us put TNB back in the cultural spotlight here in New Brunswick and across the country.”
