Hi everyone,
There is some confusion on what is happening with the Butter Tart Festival next year. As people have heard Barb has decided not to come back next year as the festival manager.We had offered Barb a contract for next year, that included a two week extension on the contract as well as a raise. Barb sent a counter offer back requesting $40,000 a year and full time employment. As a board we could not in good faith move forward with a full time Butter Tart Festival Manager. As other festival and events are brought onboard then we may need a full time person but at this point we don't feel it is financially responsible.
There will be a RFP for a festival manager that will go out by the end of next week. The board has been approached by people that would welcome the opportunity to manage the festival.Barb has done an awesome job with the festival, we wish her all success in her future endeavours and thank her for all her work done to date. If you have any questions email me at steve.barber@outlook.com or call the office and leave a message. Thanks, Steve Barber Chair Midland BIA View All Newsletters & Press Releases »
