A Message from our President
Ginny Dunlop has been the acting Executive Director for the HPYO since June of 2009 when our previous Executive Director retired from this position. A search committee was formed in the fall of 2009 and spent the last many months finding the best person to fill this position.
We are pleased to announce that Diana Weir is the new Executive Director for HPYO.
Diana is a resident of Hamilton, music lover, accomplished pianist, and a strong proponent for the value of community arts. Diana holds a Combined Honours BA in Music and Cultural studies from McMaster University, is experienced working with young people in schools and the community and a skilled arts administrator.
We look forward to an exciting year ahead as we grow together.
Lynn Hutchinson, President
