Fundraising for Poetry Center Director’s Fund Underway
After serving for over a decade as the Poetry Center’s Executive Director, Gail Browne will officially step down on June 30.
In many ways, the Poetry Center is a testament to Browne and her work.
Today, the Poetry Center serves its growing communities in one of the most beautiful buildings in Arizona. It houses one of the largest library collections of contemporary poetry in the U.S., and hosts readings, workshops, lectures, exhibitions and educational programming that bring more than 30,000 people through its doors each year.
For those reasons, and others, members of the Poetry Center staff have dedicated this spring’s annual giving campaign to Browne and the work she has done for the Poetry Center.
In an announcement, the staff noted: "We can think of no better going away gift for Gail (Browne) than by making a gift to the Poetry Center in her honor."
To support a new new Director’s Fund, the staff is working to raise $100,000 before June 30. To learn more, visit "Give a Gift to Honor Gail" online.
