Executive Director Job - PUGET SOUND REVELS

Puget Sound Revels’ longtime Founder Executive Director, Mary Lynn, retired in early 2023. Our dedicated Revels Board has a good plan for this transition, so Puget Sound Revels will be creating communal celebrations for years to come...

The transition from a Founder ED has particular challenges. Research of 1000+ non-profits shows that replacements for founding/long term directors only last about one year. Hiring an experienced interim ED first can set up a more stable transition.

Amy Wigstrom has been hired as the Interim Executive Director. She has 20-years of experience in nonprofit work and comes to us with a performing arts background as she has served as the Executive Director of Symphony Tacoma, Director of Performing Arts in Sun Valley, Idaho, and numerous positions at Seattle Opera.

Wigstrom will look at PSR with neutral eyes - assessing the organization and its systems and making recommendations to the Board. Then she will work with the Board on a plan to attract and hire the new ED.

We'll post information here as we move forward and initiate the search for the permanent ED as well as post the time frame, requirements, job description, salary and benefits. We hope our large community will spread the word to potential candidates.
