“After reviewing all of the applicants, it was clear that Becky was the best choice because of her extensive experience working with grants and in our local community.” Says Hogans. “She has already brought her exceptional work ethic to tackle two monstrous events (Women Helping Women and Broadway by the River) which were thrown in her lap as a new hire, and she handled them magnificently.”
Garfield Center Board Vice President Judy Kohl writes, “Becky completes the final piece in the puzzle! The GCA now has a dynamic team to lead us into the next decade.”
She will be working directly under Hogans, exploring new grant opportunities and managing relationships with the organizations which currently provide general operating grants to the Garfield. She will also be coordinating the rentals, partnerships and special events that take place in the Garfield throughout the year.
Lepter adds, “I am deeply honored to join the Garfield because of the role it plays in modeling innovation and progressiveness in our region. It will be a privilege and a joy to work with the exceptional staff, board and stakeholders to enhance the cultural life of our community by nurturing, celebrating, and supporting arts and artists through performing arts.”
A life-long resident of the Eastern Shore, she looks forward to moving the Garfield into a new era of growth. Rebecca lives in Sudlersville with her husband Steve and their two boys, Clark and Colin.
Congratulations Becky!
