| |
 Eva Laird Smith is the new executive director of the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture & the Arts, only the seventh person in the 46-year history of the arts agency to hold the post. She follows Ronald K. Yamakawa who is retiring after serving as director for 10 years, capping a 35-year career with the State Foundation. Laird Smith is joining HSFCA from her position as director of the USO of Hawai'i and before that was president of Junior Achievement of Hawai‘i, executive director of the Filipino Community Center of Hawai‘i and executive director of Hawai‘i's Plantation Village. She assumes her new duties on January 3, 2012.
"Eva Laird Smith is an outstanding choice among many able candidates who applied," said Barbara Saromines- Ganne, Oahu commissioner and chair of the board of the HSFCA. "She joins our excellent staff and commissioners to deal with the challenges facing state government and the arts community today and we are confident she will do a great job." Smith has a master's degree in museum studies from the University of Manchester, England; a dean's list bachelor's degree from the University of Washington in Seattle; and bachelor of fine arts from the College of the Holy Spirit in Manila.
