The Washington Pavilion still has not ‘publicly’ said why their development director suddenly left. And while the curator left because of another job opportunity, one wonders why she wanted ‘out’.
I have heard many, many versions as to why this turnover has happened, but since I don’t have an attorney on retainer, unless someone from Pavilion management is willing to go on record with me, I will keep the rumors and gossip to myself.
But the one question still remains. Why does a non-profit like the Pavilion, who receives subsidies from the city, the state and the Feds refuse to say ‘anything’ about the recent disappearance of their Development Director? No press releases, no replacement ads, nothing, zilch.
I encourage anyone who is either a member of the Pavilion, or knows any of the directors, to ask them in person, or drop them a line. Why all the secrecy?

Remarket it as a mausoleum. Then it’ll make money & the director can be dead.
They should just have a gigantic key party in the Grand Old Hall.
PL – The problem is the ‘Director’ isn’t running the place to begin with.
Scott – Don’t give them any ideas that actually might make the place money 🙂
