“I’m thrilled to welcome this new class of trustees to our Board,” said Trey Devey, President of Interlochen Center for the Arts. “Amy, Danielle, Marilyn, Kimi, and Scott each bring a wealth of expertise—as professionals, creatives, and as parents of Interlochen students—to their new roles as leaders of our community. I’m excited to see how their diverse perspectives will enrich the Interlochen experience for our students, families, alumni, and guests.”
Dr. Barrett J. Rollins (IAC/NMC 65-66, 68)—who previously served as one of the Board’s vice-chairs—was selected to succeed retiring trustee Sarah Harding (IAC and IAA Parent) as Board Chair. Saul Goldstein (IAC Parent) will continue his role as one of the Board’s two vice chairs, joined by newly elected Vice Chair Molly Ferrante (IAA Parent).
"I'm truly honored to have been selected to serve as Board Chair,” Rollins said. “As a three-summer Camp alumnus, this role holds special meaning for me, and I look forward to working alongside Saul, Molly, and our fellow trustees to ensure future generations of Interlochen students can enjoy the same transformational moments that I once experienced. Together, we can build on the incredible foundation our predecessors established to lead Interlochen into its second century—continuing our legacy of innovation and leadership in the creative youth development movement.”
During the July proceedings, the Board also honored two members who are retiring after years of dedicated service to Interlochen: Sarah Harding and Cindy Chormann Hann (AS 78-79).
