me, caught in a moment of executive directoring
I want to inform the community that I have recently made the difficult decision to leave my position of executive director here at Honolulu Printmakers.
However bittersweet it is for me to leave, I feel strongly that my work with HP has concluded, that it’s time for me to move on to other projects and endeavors, and frankly, to make room for another vision. It’s been an honor and a pleasure to serve this venerable organization since 2013, and I’m proud of the work I’ve done in that time, culminating with the establishment of our new studio on Bethel Street. I feel confident that the organization is well positioned to thrive going forward under new leadership. We are securely ensconced in the new studio, and in spite of the tumult of the last 2 years we are on a solid financial footing and poised for growth.
In terms of who will be replacing me, you should look forward to an announcement from the board of directors on a search process and the way forward. I will continue in my position until the end of May, and during that time, in addition to tying up loose ends, I will be working with the board in any way that I can to facilitate this transition. And of course, I’ll still be around beyond that date, helping out and participating as I can; after all, I am a printmaker here in Honolulu, and Honolulu Printmakers is my community.
Regards,
Duncan
