Deb Fillman, currently the development director at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum, has been named interim director of the organization. The Board of Trustees continues a national search for a new executive director. Chris Joslin recently stepped down from the position after 9 years.
“It’s a true honor to have the opportunity to lead the organization during this transition,” Fillman said. “Chris Joslin and the Board of Trustees spent a great deal of time setting the strategic direction for the organization, and I feel confident the board, staff, and our key partners will succeed in achieving the goals set forth in the plan.”
Board of Trustees chairman Chris Love said they are fortunate to have Fillman to fill in during the search for a new executive director.
“Deb and the staff at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum are all extremely dedicated and will do a fantastic job during this period,” he said.” On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I welcome Deb to her newly expanded role, and we are very excited for the future of this great organization.”
Joslin recently left the position after he accepted a role overseeing development and fundraising for Mission Lazarus, a faith-based nonprofit with operations in Honduras and Haiti.
