CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

While long-term plans for the CGN will eventually require additional staff, we are able to manage our current programs quite effectively thanks to the efforts of our Board of Directors. Our most immediate challenge is to raise the funds necessary to support our programs. If we do raise adequate funds, we will hire a professional arts administrator to improve concert attendance, fundraising, etc.
