A local member of the arts community in Lima has been elected to a new position in a statewide advocacy group.
Elizabeth Brown-Ellis, executive director of the Lima Symphony Orchestra, has been named the first female president of the board for the Ohio Citizens for the Arts. Brown-Ellis has been with the organization for several years and she says that she's excited to accept this new position.
"It’s just a great opportunity - I’ve been on the board since 2017 and was elected to the secretary position, so I’ve been on the executive committee for a year," said Brown-Ellis. "This was all a little bit of a surprise, but it’s just a really tremendous opportunity to continue this great advocacy work on behalf of all of the arts organizations in Ohio."
The OCA works to make sure that everyone in the state of Ohio has access to the arts.
