Greetings from LHAT President & CEO, Ken Stein





             2021 Board of Directors          Dear LHAT Family:

                      Rob Bull                How does one write a letter like this after the year we just had?
                  The Compass Group           I opened with “LHAT Family” instead of “LHAT Friends” because,
                     Willa Burke              having gone through what we all just went through, I feel like
                   Jujamcyn Theaters          we are much closer to each other than we used to be. Odd,
                   Shane Burkett              considering we were in lockdown. I guess that is one of those
               Agile Ticketing Solutions, LLC  Pandemic Silver Linings we will be talking about during the panel
                   Laura Corman               session on Wednesday. With that in mind…
                 Educational Consultant
                 Christine Delaney            Welcome to the League’s National Conference. This is our 45th
                   Tibbits Opera House        Conference and our second virtual one. Between you and
                 Steven Ehrenberg             me (and everyone else who reads this), I am really hoping it
           Ambassador Theatre Group / ATG North   will be our last virtual one. I truly cannot wait to see everyone
                       America                in person again. However, the League has adapted, and we
            Molly Fortune (Board Chair)       now better understand how to continue to use technology
                 Newberry Opera House         to keep us connected between conferences. Expect more
                  Becky Hancock               virtual happy hours and possibly even virtual components to
                   Tennessee Theatre          future conferences. A lot of things bad happened last year, but
                   Alycyn Keeling             connecting with you on Zoom calls was one of the good things.
                    Wallace Theater           See? It’s that Silver Linings thing again.
                  Chris Loeser, AIA           Thank you to all of our volunteer presenters again this year.
                      DLR Group               Our education sessions are going to be the best because our
                   Keith Marston              volunteer presenters are the best. And our networking sessions are
                 The Shubert Organization     going to be the best because our members are the best. And if
                   Randy McKay                you are not a member of the League yet, you are about to find
                Carolina Theatre of Durham    out why you should be.
                  Maureen Patton
               The Grand 1894 Opera House     Thank you as well to our National Partners and Sponsors. Because
             Michael Schnoering, FAIA         of you the League is still here. We cannot thank you enough
              Mills+Schnoering Architects, LLC  for that. And because of you, all LHAT members can enjoy the
                      Tony Sias               conference for free. I guess we have the best sponsors, too!
                   Karamu House, Inc.         It has been a crazy year. I am sure most of us never want to hear
                Stephanie Silverman           the letters SVOG again. We are glad we were able to help with
                    Belcourt Theatre          that, but we cannot wait for each of you to be fully funded and
                   Kevin Sullivan             done with the SBA. Join me at one of the Happy Hours during the
              National Trust Insurance Services  conference and we will toast to being done with that program.

                 BOARD EMERITUS               I wish it were in person, but at least it will be good to see you
                 Dana Amendola                again, even if it is only on the screen.
                 Disney Theatrical Group
                      John Bell               Congratulations. We made it. Now the real work begins. Let’s get
                     Tampa Theatre            your theatres open again.
                 Jeffrey W. Gabel             With sincere appreciation for everything you do,
            Gettysburg College’s Majestic Theater
