On his predecessor as President, Doug Jaeger: Doug laid the groundwork for reinvigorating ADC as a cultural hub with strong year-round programming.I want the club to continue in that direction, with programming that appeals on both local and global levels and cool events in our great gallery space that connect people and provide real value to members.
