Posted by Lindy West on Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 12:27 PM
It's official: Lyall Bush, former director of Hugo House and "interim" director at the NWFF since November, has been named their new executive director (Michael Seiwerath announced his decision to leave the position almost exactly one year ago).
From the press release:
In his new position Bush will continue to bring new energy and vision to the position left by Michael Seiwerath in 2008, as he solidifies a three-year plan that will invite new audiences into Northwest Film Forum."NWFF is thrilled to welcome Lyall as our Executive Director," says president of the board Jennifer Roth. "Since November, when he first came to us as Interim Executive Director, he has led our new three-year strategic planning process. His work with the board and the staff has brought an exciting new vision to us for our future."
“Northwest Film Forum is built on a strong foundation of passionate people working for a great cause,” says Bush. “I have been very impressed these past few months by the dedication of the board of directors and by the intelligence and creativity of the staff. When I was offered the permanent job I accepted immediately. Michael spearheaded tremendous growth throughout his time here and that has made my work of exploring new directions for the organization a lot easier."
