SJIMA welcomes a new president

SJIMA shares news about its recent lead­er­ship change.

The board of the San Juan Islands Muse­um of Art is pleased to announce the elec­tion of its new pres­i­dent, Lin­da Chowdry. She joined the board in 2019 and has recent­ly served as the board vice pres­i­dent and secretary.

As a fair­ly new islander, Lin­da became aware of SJIMA ear­ly on and was pleased to be invit­ed to join the board. Over the years she has served on large and small boards which helped pre­pare her for ser­vice as pres­i­dent of the SJIMA. Lin­da finds it fun and reward­ing to be part of an orga­ni­za­tion that con­tributes so much to our community.

“As an art lover, I feel priv­i­leged just to be in the build­ing work­ing with vol­un­teers and staff,” she says. “Togeth­er we will build a stronger orga­ni­za­tion con­tin­u­ing to bring exhi­bi­tions and pro­grams of excel­lence to San Juan Coun­ty. Come see us!”

Tak­ing on the posi­tions of vice pres­i­dent and sec­re­tary, respec­tive­ly, are Lisa Brooks and Rob Ray. Dianne Hall was re-elect­ed SJIMA trea­sur­er. All took their new posts on the first of the year. Lin­da Chowdry replaces out­go­ing board pres­i­dent Diane Martindale.
