It is with a mix of sadness and appreciation that the JOMDC Board of Directors announces Laura Sawyer’s impending departure as Executive Director of Joy of Motion Dance Center, effective January 8, 2016. In the past year, Laura has played a critical role in the development and success of the organization, and while we will miss her and her leadership, we wish her the best of luck in her new endeavor as the Executive Director of an international nonprofit devoted to academic communications and language research. Over the next two months Laura will continue to lead important ongoing projects such as the 40th Anniversary Gala Concert and the development of a Faculty Advisory Body. We have launched a search to find the new Executive Director. During this transition period, it is our priority to find the best individual to lead, while still maintaining a stable and effective organization. All open positions for the organization are found here.
Chair, Board of Directors
Dear JOMDC Community,The decision to leave Joy of Motion has not been an easy one. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for JOMDC and a deep belief in the ideal that ‘Dance is for Everyone.’ I have truly enjoyed working with the Board, with all of our immensely talented faculty, with our community and with the staff, who are among the most dedicated, energetic, and creative in the business. I believe in this organization’s ability to change lives–I’ve seen it on the stage and behind the scenes so many times–and I will continue to support JOMDC from afar long after I am no longer the one at the helm.
