Former Allied Arts Director Don Andrews Talks to The Pulse

The former president of Allied Arts says he is perplexed as to why the executive committee dismissed him from the organization in February.

“I feel as though they are making some changes related to their visioning and strategic planning and did not wish for me to participate in that process,” Don Andrews told The Pulse Thursday. “I wish them well, and I will always support the arts in this community and hope that others will, too.”

Andrews said he enjoyed the four years in which he worked at Allied Arts.

“The board was engaged, and the staff, including the changes that were made, was excellent,” he said. “The community gave us very strong support.”

Andrews said Allied Arts bylaws state that the executive committee can make decisions on behalf of the board, with the approval of the board. He said he does not know if the executive committee sought board approval to dismiss him. He also does not know who voted to let him go.

According to the 2006 annual report, the executive committee is comprised of board Chairman Frank McDonald; Vice Chairman for Advancement Tom Griscom; Vice Chairwoman for Programs Alice Lupton Smith; Treasurer Tim Kelly; Secretary Michelle Ruest.

Others on the executive committee are: Jeannine Alday, Roland Carter, Linda Chapin, Kurt Faires, Annie I. Hall, Mai Bell Hurley, Grant Law, Niel Nielson, Sally Robinson, Virginia Anne Sharber, Carolyn R. Thompson, and Sue Anne Wells.

Allied Arts' board is currently meeting to discuss the future of the program in light of philanthopist Ruth Holmberg's decision to pull her support from the agency in light of Andrews' dismissal.

"I am gravely disappointed," Holmberg told WGOW today. "Don presents a wonderful community face."
