Marsha Chamberlin joins Editorial Board at AnnArbor.com

By Tony Dearing

Marsha Chamberlin, president of the Ann Arbor Art Center, is the most recent community member to join our Editorial Board.

The AnnArbor.com Editorial Board meets weekly to discuss local issues and formulate the positions that AnnArbor.com takes in the editorials that appear in print and online every Sunday.

Community members serve a four-month term on the Editorial Board and then rotate off. The other community members currently serving are David Canter, Stephen Ranzini and David Mielke. The board also includes Matt Kraner, Laurel Champion and Tony Dearing of the AnnArbor.com staff.

After working as a studio potter for nearly a decade, Chamberlin took the helm at the Art Center in 1980, and has been involved in numerous community organizations since then.

Chamberlin earned her bachelor's degree from San Jose State College and has a master's degree from the University of California, Berkley. She currently serves on the City of Ann Arbor Commission on Art in Public Places and the board of the Wild Swan Theater, and is a former chairwoman of the board of the Ann Arbor Convention and Visitors Bureau. Other local organizations she's been involved in include the NEW Center, the Community Foundation of Southeastern Michigan and the Ann Arbor Area Arts Alliance.
