MEET SOPAC’S NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STEPHEN BEAUDOIN In September, SOPAC announced the appointment of Stephen Beaudoin as its new executive director. Beaudoin brings over fifteen years of award winning arts management and production experience to SOPAC. His work includes nearly four years as Executive Director of “The Washington Chorus”, a $2.4 million and 160 voice symphonic chorus and partner of The Kennedy Center and National Symphony Orchestra. While there, he produced concerts, programs, and partnerships across multiple platforms. As executive director of the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, Beaudoin led initiatives to increase single ticket and subscription revenues through data analytics and the introduction of white-glove patron service. Beaudoin is adept at developing new programs and strategic community engagement with special attention to racial, cultural, and LGBTQ+ diversity as well as accessibility. He shared, “It’s an honor to join this beautifully vibrant and richly diverse community as your SOPAC Executive Director. I have a lot to learn.” Join us in welcoming Stephen Beaudoin to the SOMA community. He is eager to learn more about what makes this community so special and how SOPAC can deepen and expand its impact. Please reach out to him directly at Stephen@sopacnow.org to share your experiences with SOPAC and any thoughts or suggestions for becoming an integral part of the SOMA community.
