Elizabeth RogersThe Chair of Regional Arts NSW, Meg Larkin, has announced the appointment of Elizabeth Rogers as the new Chief Executive Officer for the peak arts and cultural development agency for regional and rural New South Wales.

Ms Rogers has extensive arts management and arts marketing experience gained from over twenty years work in both metropolitan and regional areas, including positions as the Manager of Marketing and Communications with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and as Director of Canberra Arts Marketing.

"Elizabeth's background in communications and arts marketing will provide a wonderful base for leading Regional Arts NSW into the next chapter of its growth and development," Ms Larkin said.

Ms Rogers has been the Manager of Marketing & Communications at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music since January 2005.

Previously, Ms Rogers was the Director of Australia's leading arts marketing consortium, Canberra Arts Marketing, which represents a large diversity of arts organisations including national cultural institutions, national touring companies, festivals, venues and facilities, commercial and exhibiting galleries, museums, theatre companies, classical and contemporary music ensembles and orchestras, film -makers groups, writers groups, community arts and regional arts groups. In her six and a half years at Canberra Arts Marketing Ms Rogers oversaw the development of the organisation from twenty to over 100 members.

"I am delighted to be joining Regional Arts NSW," said Ms Rogers. "I have been a committed supporter of regional arts over the years and I look forward to meeting and working with the Board, staff members, the regional boards and, of course, the artists who contribute so much to the cultural well being of their local communities."

Elizabeth starts at Regional Arts NSW on Monday 4 December.
