Kim Jackson, board president at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre for the last two years, has been named as the organization’s interim executive director. Ms. Jackson temporarily replaces George Quick, who resigned in July.
“Kim was the obvious choice for this position,” said board vice president, Jim Kennedy.
“During her two years as president of the board, she became intimately aware of and involved in the operations of the theatre, and she has been a steady presence there since George’s departure. As a veteran volunteer, she has the trust and respect of the CTC staff and volunteer base, and she is highly regarded by the CTC’s patrons and sponsors,” he added.
Jackson said she was “honored to be asked and delighted to say yes. The theatre is obviously close to my heart, and I am very optimistic about our future.”
The board plans to immediately begin its search for a permanent replacement. Kennedy added that Jackson is not, nor will she be, a candidate for the permanent position.
