Happy Summer! Well, let's make it as good as we can make it.

President role split between two Guild members

Lisa Keenan

Joy T. Maples, APR

The role of president for the Colorado Springs Guild will be shared for the 2020/2021 season between two dynamic women. Lisa Keenan, Grants Manager at UCHealth, will share the role with Joy Maples, a public relations professional with her own small business, doing work in the tourism and non profit sectors.

Both women bring tremendous talent to the Guild and we look forward to seeing what they can accomplish "against all odds"....

The tactics for fundraising within the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Guild have been traditionally event-based. With the pandemic, this will alter the group's general fund raising plan. These two are undeterred and look forward to the challenge that the year will bring. The board is fully invested and aware of the hurdles that await them and are doing the work of exploring alternative tactics for raising money for the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. You can help now by renewing your membership. We need a strong membership this year to ensure a successful year. We also need "all hands on deck" as we form committees to tackle the job ahead of us. Be thinking creatively. We look forward to meeting--in one form or another--in the Fall. At that time we will provide information on how you can be a part of this year's effort. We will also have a vote on a budget for the year and, hopefully, we will have more information to be able to navigate the year's plan effectively.
