Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: The current Board Members Maria Chumbita- Garcia (District 4,) Erik Christiansen (District 4,) Annastasia Kaessner (District 1) are each finishing their 1st term in the current 2021 year.
Arts & Culture would like to request their reappointment for one additional full term, extending their status through 2024. Our by-laws state that we may have 11-15 members. Retaining these members will keep our board at 12 which still allows us to recruit for additional members, preferably in District 2.
Maria Chumbita-Garcia is the Vice President of Engineering at Core Brace. Maria received recognition as a winner of the "30 Women to Watch 2018." She is of the Hispanic-Latino community, an underrepresented community on our board, and she is a supporter of the Arts who has offered great insight and opinion to the board in her first term.
Erik Christiansen is a Commercial Litigator at Parson Behle Latimer. Erik has 31-years' experience in commercial litigation, and he is the Chair of the Utah State Bar Litigation Section. Erik is also an avid supporter of the arts and has served on other artistic boards like UMOCA.
Annastasia Kaessner is the Director of Leasing at 'Industry.' Annastasia was appointed to CREW Utah's Board of Directors in 2019. She has also been an integral part of festivals like the Salt Lake City Arts Council's Living Traditions Festival, the Twiligh
