Dear Mayor Mendenhall,
The Nominating Committee for the Arts Council Board has identified two strong candidates for the Salt
Lake City Arts Council Foundation Board of Directors and Advisory Board to the City.
We would like to bring these two candidates forward for your approval and the subsequent approval of
the City Council. The candidates’ names are Cale Newhouse (District 4) and Thomas Kessinger (District
5). The candidates’ applications and resumes are attached to this letter.
The two selected candidates will be excellent additions to the Board, complementing the expertise and
strength of our current members. In addition to arts appreciation and experience, these candidates
bring critical business knowledge to the Board, specifically in the areas of finance and law . Based on
our interviews with the candidates, we believe that they will be active and engaged contributors to the
Arts Council Board.
We appreciate your consideration in forwarding these Board applications to the City Council, and we
will continue to bring strong candidates to your attention as we review them.
Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support of the Arts Council.
Sincerely,
Annie Dayton
Acting Board Chair, Salt Lake City Arts Council Foundation
Felicia Baca
Executive Director, Arts Division/Salt Lake City Arts Council Foundation
