"Homegrown" team to lead the Dayton Art Institute

DAYTON, OH.- The Dayton Art Institute’s board of trustees announced that two Daytonians have been selected to lead the museum. Michael R. Roediger, currently vice president of development at Victoria Theatre Association, will assume the role of executive director, and Jane A. Black, executive director of the Dayton Visual Arts Center (DVAC), will become the museum’s associate director, a newly created position. “We assessed our greatest needs and anticipate that our new leadership team will bring great energy and new ideas to the Art Institute,” says Board Chairman Rob Connelly. “We intend to fully execute our strategic plan by improving our outreach and expanding our audiences.” Roediger, a 13-year veteran of Victoria Theatre Association, will begin his new duties as The Dayton Art Institute’s executive director on October 1. He comes to the museum knowing there are challenges. &#
