Staffing changes at the Arts Council

Terri Harmon, who currently serves as chief operating officer, will leave the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City at year's end. She helped found the Arts Council in 1999, and has been instrumental in the creation of many programs, including Studio150, Business Committee for the Arts (now known as ArtsKC Business Programs), www.ArtsKC.org, and the ArtsKC Fund. Harmon's experiences have prepared her well for her next endeavor as entrepreneur.

Harmon created myVP, myVersatilePartner, as a resource for small business owners and managers. Her passion for helping small businesses comes from over 23 years of operations and executive management experience in retail, communications, legal, and not-for-profit industries. myVP provides a wide range of outsourcing solutions, including bookkeeping, business planning, data management, marketing, and web technology. Details on myVP can be found at http://www.myversatilepartner.com.
