Goodbye and good wishes to William Coleman, CDE

By Anne B. Pope, Executive Director –

William ColemanThis week we say goodbye to the Commission’s current Director of Arts Access, William Coleman, who has accepted the position of Director of Education for VSA Florida.

In his three and half years with us, he has significantly grown the Arts Access program and participated on a state, regional and national level as an advocate for all citizens to have the opportunity to participate in the arts. His enthusiasm, hard work and generosity of spirit have furthered understanding and increased dialogue for access to the arts across the state. William will be sorely missed.

The entire Commission staff and board wish him well at VSA Florida. We look forward to seeing his further impact on accessibility in the arts and hope he will not be a stranger to Tennessee.
