New DAI director loses job because of living plans
Wednesday, August 01, 2007
DAYTON — David Brigham, who was slated to take over the top spot at the Dayton Art Institute in less than three weeks, will not be filling the job because of his decision to live in Cincinnati rather than the Greater Dayton area.
The announcement was made Tuesday afternoon by DAI board chair Joseph A. Zehenny, who said the museum is resuming its search for a new director and CEO.
