All the negativity above is pathetic. If a CEO/President is amazingly talented in a particular field, that doesn't mean that their business prowess carries over to all other fields. If Ms. Whoolens is as divisive as is claimed by the orchestra and other board members, what good could she possibly do? She probably meant well, but running an orchestra takes more than just savvy business acumen. A higher degree of flexibility is needed. A more accepting and open mind is an absolute must. You can't just throw money at a problem and hope it gets fixed. What she ended up doing was akin to fixing a leak in a dam with duct tape. If someone can find the right way to patch things up, new money won't be as important. Stop the hemorrhaging. Stop paying too high of a salary to an undeserving Exec. Director. Too many orchestras are run by savvy business folk who have no idea how to properly manage and/or market an orchestra. This is ART. To think that she, as a single mind, knows the best way to run this organization is absurd.
I hope the best for the musicians in the LVP. I think you made the right choice!
