Cultural Alliance Welcomes Two New Board Members, Intermaggio and KnappPhiladelphia, March 16th, 2012 -- The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance is pleased to announce the addition of Peter Intermaggio and Glen Knapp to its Board of Directors. Both were voted in during the March 7th meeting of the Board.
“We are really fortunate to have found two such high-caliber candidates,” explained Tom Kaiden. “Having such esteemed leaders from the cultural and corporate sectors join our Board greatly benefits the Alliance and the region’s cultural community.” Before joining Comcast, Peter Intermaggio served as Worldwide Managing Director at the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, where he led global communications initiatives for such clients as BP, Lenovo, ATT Wireless, IBM and American Express. Early in his career, Mr. Intermaggio was active in federal and state political campaigns, and served on the staff of various members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Glen Knapp’s career in theater, arts administration and education spans twenty-five years. Prior to moving to Philadelphia, Mr. Knapp was acting Executive Director and Director of External Affairs for the National Corporate Theater Fund in New York City. He was previously Director of Development and Communications at the Elaine Kaufman Cultural Center and Director of Development at the New York Theatre Workshop.
Mr. Intermaggio and Mr. Knapp fill two recent vacancies. One was created by the departure of Jim Undercofler, Professor in Drexel University’s Arts Administration program; the other when Michael Norris, Executive Director of Art-Reach, resigned his board appointment to join the staff of the Cultural Alliance as its incoming Vice President of External Relations. Additional changes to the Board included current board members Jennie Sikes, a partner at Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads, being elected Board Secretary; Valerie Gay of Temple University taking on the role of Development Committee Chair; and Sean Buffington, the Chair and CEO of the University of the Arts, becoming the Strategic Planning Committee Chair.

It has the power to educate. We own it, as residents of the Greater Philadelphia region, because it comes from us. It helps individuals come together and grow as a community. |
