CMS board member Ginny Zehr receives Raleigh Medal of Arts

Board member Ginny Zehr will receive the Raleigh Medal of Arts during a ceremony on Oct. 6, in recognition of her many lasting and tangible contributions to the arts community in Raleigh and Wake County. In addition to her current role on our board, Ginny is a co-founder of our school, as well as its first executive director. She has also held leadership roles with the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County, the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra, and the Raleigh Area Flute Association.

Every student who comes through our doors does so because Ginny and Mary Cates had the vision and the initiative to build our school on a strong foundation 22 years ago. We are grateful for Ginny’s support, wisdom and leadership, and could not be happier to see her hard work recognized with this honor.

Congratulations, Ginny!
