Sarah Calderini

Bringing a multifaceted perspective from the corporate, entrepreneurial, and non-profit sectors to the A²SO, Sarah Calderini previously served as Director and Board Chair of the University Music Society (UMS) at the University of Michigan after a lengthy sales career at Procter & Gamble and a subsequent 16-year private business venture. She is a graduate of Union College (New York; BA, English), the National Arts Strategies (NAS)/University of Pennsylvania’s Executive Strategy in Arts and Culture program, and the EXCEL program in Arts Leadership & Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theater & Dance. After many years on the East Coast, this Chicago-native-turned-Ann Arborite’s leadership philosophy is inspired by the interplay between strong local arts and the larger regional and national landscapes; how they work together to create moments that enrich and transform lives.
