Dear New Haven Ballet Friends and Families,

I write with a bittersweet staffing announcement. Lucy Weady, NHB’s extraordinary Business Manager, will be retiring this fall. I note the news is bittersweet because while I am thrilled for Lucy, I feel profound sadness at the prospect of losing her from NHB’s family.

To assure a smooth transition we have engaged a new Business Manager, Alan Pensky, for the same days as Lucy (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Alan comes to us with tremendous experience and wonderful recommendations; we recognize how fortunate we are to have him join us.Please note that Lucy will be working with Alan to facilitate his transition.

I know how much you, as I, value and respect Lucy, and invite you to thank and wish her well when stopping by the office. In the meantime, while we all thank Lucy Weady for the generous time she gave to all of us at NHB, please join me in welcoming Alan Pensky as he comes into our close school community.

Yours sincerely,

Lisa Sanborn

Artistic Director
