This June, The Orpheum Theatre welcomed Dylana Larson as our newest member of our Board of Directors, filling the seat formerly held by Tom McIntire.
Born and raised in Collinsville, Illinois, Dylana graduated from Collinsville High School and went on to Illinois State University where she graduated with a degree in Recreation Administration.
Upon arriving in Galesburg, she served as the Director of Recruitment and Student Life Coordinator at Carl Sandburg College. During her time, she implemented a comprehensive path to enrollment program for incoming students and spearheaded the creation of a state-wide association for community college recruitment. Recently she spent 8 years as the Cultural Director at American Hospitality Academy, a visa sponsor for international students. With the position at AHA, she was able to travel internationally and meet with schools and contacts around the world to share information about the J1 cultural exchange visa program through the US Department of State. She now works as the director of Development at Thrive Community Services
In her many years in the Galesburg community, her passion for Knox County residents is evident. She has served on the board at Safe Harbor Family Crisis Center, the Galesburg Community Chorus and Family Planning of Western Illinois, and we are excited to welcome her to The Orpheum Theatre Board of Directors.
