The Grammy Museum announced a senior staff reorganization, including the creation of three key senior leadership positions.
Key features of the restructure will allow for an expansion of the Grammy Museum’s education department and its national music education programs such as Grammy Camp.
David Sears was appointed as the museum’s new vice president of education for Grammy in the Schools. Hilary Fahlsing was appointed as the vice president of finance and administration and Lynne Sheridan was promoted to vice president of artist relations, programs and content.
Sears, Fahlsing and Sheridan will report to Michael Sticka, Grammy Museum president.
“As president of the Grammy Museum, it is my responsibility to ensure that everything we do helps to further our mission of celebrating our musical heritage and increasing access to music education, which is why we find it crucial to expand our education and digital initiatives,” Sticka said. “I’m thrilled to have Hilary, David and Lynne join Grammy Museum COO Rita George on our expanded leadership team to continue enriching the impact of the museum and our programs in Los Angeles, nationally and digitally.”
Fahlsing will be responsible for the fiscal management of the museum including finance and accounting, legal, human resources and insurance/risk management. She will also serve as a staff liaison to the board of directors.
Sears will be responsible for the museum’s Grammy Camp, the Music Educator Award, career-based education programs, as well as growing the museum’s regional and national education programs and initiatives.
Sheridan will continue to run the museum’s popular public programs, as well as oversee its first digital content department. She will also continue to lead artist relations and manage the production team.
On Aug 1, the three of them will begin their new duties.
Fahlsing joined the Grammy Museum in 2018 and has more than a decade of experience in nonprofit finance, administration and operations. Sears has been a part of the Recording Academy for more than 25 years and involved with the development and implementation of the former Grammy Foundation’s national education initiatives such as Grammy in the Schools, Grammy Career Day, Grammy SoundChecks and more.
With a 30-year music industry career, Sheridan has been with the Grammy Museum since its inception in 2007. At the museum, Sheridan created its well-known public programs series, booking and producing nearly 1,000 artist interviews and performances, film screenings, and panel discussion with artists such as Andrea Bocelli, Brandi Carlile, Common, Public Enemy, Haim and more.
