Board Retirement Announcement: Thank you Allyson Vanstone!

Allyson has led our board through many different adventures in her time as Board Chair and has been instrumental in growing and enriching it through membership and diverse representation. We are deeply grateful for her time on the LAC Board of Directors and wish her the very best! 

“Allyson Vanstone is stepping off from the LAC Board of Directors after having served three two-year terms since 2019-2020. She served as Chair of the Board for most of those years and I’m very grateful that she served as past chair this year as well.

Allyson has led our board through many different adventures in her time as Board Chair -through and after COVID and the hiring of our current Executive Director, Eunju Yi. She has seen our board at its slimmest and has been instrumental in growing it to now a fuller and diverse board.

She led with great leadership, grace, wisdom, thoughtfulness, and a tremendous passion for the arts -- all with that signature warmth and joy she exuded. We will miss her greatly and we are hopeful that the positive impact Allyson has made will continue to have lasting effects in our work.”

- Janet Loo, Chair, LAC Board of Directors

"I truly appreciate Allyson's leadership, support, and wisdom during the challenging COVID year and the leadership transition time. I cannot say enough how much I learned from her, as her caring and thoughtful guidance positively influenced my leadership style. It would be hard for me to imagine the LAC board without her, but I also know that she will always cheer for us and be part of LAC’s special moments. Once again, I am grateful for her dedication and unwavering support for me and the team. We, LAC’s board and team, will continue the legacy, and we will always think of her presence."

- Eunju Yi, Executive Director
