The Sarasota Architectural Foundation has hired Tamara (Tammy) Hauser as its first executive director. Last fall, SAF worked with her when she consulted on the Gulf Coast Community Foundation i3 (Invest in Incredible) capacity-building grant. Over the past few years, SAF’s educational programs, SarasotaMOD Weekend and opportunities to help preserve historically significant Sarasota School of Architecture structures have expanded tremendously. With Hauser and her team on board, the SAF board looks forward to the opportunity to focus more time on advocacy and preservation. Tammy is the CEO of Blue Sky Thinking, a consulting firm based in Sarasota that manages small nonprofit arts organizations. In her new role, Hauser and her team of local consultants, Caitlyn Sanderson, Jonathan Talit and Paula Wright will manage operations, events, fundraising, marketing and governance for SAF.
