Board and Staff
Full-time staff:
Lynn Cooper, Executive Director, heads the staff of Inyo Council for the Arts. Lynn is a native Californian and has lived in the Eastern Sierra off and on for approximately 32 years. Prior to becoming the E.D. in 2001, Lynn was employed as a staff accountant for a local accounting firm and was instrumental in setting up and maintaining ICA’s financial systems. Lynn also volunteered at Arts Council activities for three years before being selected, and was passionate about programs being offered to the public. She has served on several boards including the Inyo County School Board, Friends of the Jill Kinmont Boothe School, and the Bishop Chamber of Commerce. In addition to her work as an accountant for 20+ years, she had experience in the non-profit world in recruiting and managing 100+ volunteers as Director of Canine Development for Guide Dogs of the Desert. Under her direction in the last 18 years, ICA has become the leader in advancing the arts in the Eastern Sierra.
