A Note from YTN's Incoming Leadership:

Hello YTN Community!
With Mimi Katano's retirement as Executive Artistic Director in June, we are thrilled to be taking on the roles of Producing Program Director and Managing Director in joint-leadership of this organization we all love so much.
Cory first started as a Teaching Artist at YTN in 2012 and has been on staff since 2019, wearing many different hats over those 13 years. And Theresa recently found her way to YTN after a career in finance and banking, but a lifetime of loving and supporting the arts.
We feel honored to be trusted as the next generation of leaders, as we lay the foundations for YTN’s next 40 years.
Though some things will change and evolve, the most important things will remain just as they are. YTN will still be a second home for our inspiring students, a hub for arts and education in the community, and we will remain dedicated to uplifting and empowering young artists.
There's no limit to what our students and staff can do next!
With hope and excitement,
Cory Southwell and Theresa Heeren
