State Capitol Foundation

A hearty congratulations to our former NC State Capitol Foundation board president (and Guilford County Commissioner) Kay Cashion on being awarded the Public Leadership in the Arts Award for County Arts Leadership by the National Association of Counties, of which she is the chair. Under her leadership, participation in the Arts and Culture Commission increased from approximately a dozen to more than a hundred members within a two-year period.

As a result of her success, Cashion was selected as a speaker at National Arts Advocacy Day in Washington, where she encouraged attendees to share the importance of the arts with their local county representatives.
