Ashley McCueThe Tivoli Foundation today named Ashley McCue as the new executive director of the Tivoli Auditorium and the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, according to board chairman Keith Sanford.
Memorial Auditorium in downtown Chattanooga. McCue was introduced to the full board at noon on the Tivoli stage. She has a background in film and photography, as well as marketing and fundraising. Most recently she has been director of market development for MomSource, a company that helps find work for people with marketable skills but a desire to work from home or during non-traditional hours.
McCue, a 1994 Baylor School graduate, was chosen after a national search, Sanford said.
“We wanted someone with an artistic background with good people skills,” he said. “The executive director of the foundation will be the face of the Tivoli and Memorial, and they will be the liaison between AC Entertainment [which is under contract to manage and program the facilities] and the local groups like the symphony, ballets and boys choir.”
McCue said she will begin work on Oct. 1 and that her first priority is to travel to Knoxville where AC is headquartered and operates the Tennessee and Bijou theaters. The company also handles programming for Track 29 and The Revelry Room here, The Orange Peel in Asheville, Minglewood Hall in Memphis, Shermerhorn Symphony Center, Marathon Music Works and Exit/In in Nashville and the Music Farm venues in Charleston and Columbia, S.C.
