The new director of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center settled into his office Monday and introduced himself to the USD 257 Board of Education.
Daniel Kays stopped by the board meeting Monday evening to thank the board for hiring him.
?It?s exciting. I think it?s time for new energy and new thought, and I think I can bring that and work with you as a team as we bring different life to the Bowlus while celebrating what we are,? Kays said.
Kays comes from San Jose, Calif., where he served as operations manager for the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. He and his family, including his wife, Laura, and two teenage sons, moved to Iola over the weekend. Another on attends college in New Hampshire.
