direction of the ever changing COVID-19 protocols, the Quinte Arts Council held its Annual General Meeting virtually in late August. Although this feels a little late, we wanted to acknowledge those who have contributed to the Board over the last year, those who have moved on to other endeavours and welcome some new faces to the table. The Board and Team would like to thank Debbie McKinney for her outstanding contributions. Over the years, Debbie has been the Chair of many Holiday Home Tours for the QAC, she worked tirelessly at fundraising details and volunteer engagement and was a champion on our fundraising events. Thank you,
Debbie, for your years of dedication to the Quinte Arts Council and we wish you all the best in your many new adventures. We wish to thank Heather Cockerline for her time as secretary on the board. Although your term was short, we look forward to welcoming you back to the table soon. The Board, Team and the entire arts community welcome Andrea Kerr to the helm.

Andrea, who has served on the board since 2014, is the former Learning Support Coordinator for the Arts, Libraries, Literacy, and Technology at Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board Umbrella, Fall / Winter, 2020 - 36
