SPAC President And Executive Director Marcia White Announces Retirement

SPAC

Executive director Marcia White, who has served Saratoga Performing Arts Center for 11 years, announced her retirement Friday, saying the upcoming 50th season will be her last.

In a statement, White thanked SPAC and its board for the opportunity and said it was a “privilege and a joy of my life to lead, serve, and work for one of the most extraordinary performing arts centers in the world.”

White oversaw more than $5.7 million in renovations and the organization credited her with bringing programming to a wider audience.

SPAC says nonprofit executive search firm Phillips Oppenheim will lead the search for White’s replacement.
