Circus Arts Conservatory Names Jennifer Mitchell as new CEO and President

The Giving Coast

The Board of Directors of the Circus Arts Conservatory has officially put its stamp of approval on a long-planned leadership transition: CAC executive Jennifer Mitchell has been named CEO & President. Originally hired by the CAC in 2008 (when it was still known as Circus Sarasota) as the Marketing & Public Relations Coordinator, she was then promoted to Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, a role in which she served for over a decade. Founders Dolly Jacobs and Pedro Reis will continue to provide guidance and support, contributing to the innovation, brand recognition, and future growth of the CAC.  The organization has also moved its administrative offices just off the CAC campus due to damage suffered during multiple flooding events this past summer. A complete site review of campus structural needs is currently underway. For more about the CAC, visit circusarts.org.
