Don Boulton, interim board chair, and Jon Wilner, executive director of The ArtsCenter in Carrboro, announced today Wilner’s retirement. Wilner has held the position for six years.
“Having had open heart surgery this past year has given me a new lease on life,†Wilner said. “I am very proud of what we have accomplished at The ArtsCenter during my time here. My desire to live a more stress-free life has made it clear to me that The ArtsCenter, which I love dearly, would benefit from new leadership. It is the right time for me to leave.â€
Wilner will stay on through September as interim executive director to help facilitate a smooth transition. After that, he will remain with The ArtsCenter to assist with community relations.
