ROE TO LEAD FOLK ALLIANCE

Jennifer Roe will head Folk Alliance International as executive director.

Formerly the interim executive director, Roe has been with the Folk Alliance since 2013. She has overseen day-to-day operations and was key in expanding FAI's global network to include more than 3,000 members. Roe previously worked under Executive Directors Louis Meyers, Aengus Finnan and Neeta Ragoowansi.

“With Jennifer's deep knowledge of Folk Alliance International and her passion and dedication to the folk community, she is uniquely qualified to lead us, bringing about a new chapter for the organization,” says FAI Board President Ashley Shabankareh said. “We are so grateful to Jennifer, and we look forward to the work she'll do both with and for our members and the folk community at large.”

Next year’s conference will take place 2/19-23 in Montreal.
