John Duffy Officially Takes Over from Nancy Lockhart as Crow’s Board Chair

On October 6, 2018, Crow’s Board of Directors unanimously voted for the appointment of John Duffy as Chair, following the tremendous leadership of outgoing Chair Nancy Lockhart.

 

 

Nancy Lockhart steps down as Chair after a transformative four-year term.   During her tenure, Nancy led the organization through a $11.5M capital project and significant artistic and operational growth.  Nancy’s impact on the organization is forever impressed onto the new performing arts facility, Streetcar Crowsnest, and she will be missed by the board, staff and stakeholders who have been fortunate to work with Nancy.   We look forward to more in her new role as Chair Emeritus.  Thank you, Nancy!

 

John Duffy is the founder of StrategyCorp and one of Canada’s leading government relations, public affairs and management consultants.   He is also a published author and has served as a senior advisor to several leading political figures.  “We are honored that John has agreed to serve as Chair of Crow’s Theatre,” says Artistic Director Chris Abraham.  “In addition to his business expertise, John brings with him a passion for theatre and for city building, as well as experienced leadership that is vital for Crow’s continued success.”

 

Crow’s is grateful for all of its returning board members who have been essential to Crow’s artistic and organizational growth.   We extend a hearty welcome to new board member, David Skurka, Deputy Chair Investment Banking TD Bank.   We thank John and David for joining the team and for the impactful contributions made by all board directors.
