Homegrown Board of Directors is excited to announce two new leaders – welcome Erin “Wojo” Wojciechowski as Executive Director, and Jenny Armstrong as Festival Director!
Erin Wojo joins Homegrown with a deep love of local music, dancing, and administrative jargon. Her first Homegrown was in 2009 and she’s been hooked ever since. She has 10 years of nonprofit experience, with the last four years serving as an Executive Director of a local mentoring organization. “I’m honored to be stepping into the role of Executive Director. The opportunity to combine my passion for the local music scene with nonprofit expertise is truly wonderful.” Erin will be working closely with the Board of Directors to renew Homegrown’s 501c3 status and will help shape best practices moving forward for organizational governance.
Jenny Armstrong joins as the new Festival Director and if you’ve been at any Homegrowns recently, you know her infamous warmth and energy. Jenny joined the Steering Committee 8 years ago and most recently served as the Volunteer Coordinator for the past 5 years. Her dedication and love for the Festival is infectious. “The opportunity to continue with this amazing festival makes me very happy. I’ve loved the work I’ve done so far, and really look forward to being part of its growth into the future”. Jenny will be coordinating logistics, venues, selection and scheduling, and will work closely with the leadership and Steering Committee to get things done. She looks forward to having endless amounts of hugs in the process.
Homegrown is planning to hire a Volunteer Coordinator and will be expanding members on the Steering Committee. These are roles that truly make Homegrown happen. More details to come!
