She joins the Music Center with more than 25 years of experience in the public and private sectors, having worked with well-known multinational corporations. She most recently served as vice president of human resources for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Reporting to the Music Center’s president and CEO Rachel S.

“I am thrilled to welcome Shelby to the Music Center team. She brings a wealth of knowledge in human resources strategies and initiatives along with a deep understanding of DEAI, both of which are critically important to our ongoing commitment to the evolution of our culture and the development and support of our staff,” Moore said. “I’m looking forward to collaborating with and learning from Shelby as we work to further transform the Music Center into a performing arts center for the 21st century.”
“Growing up in Los Angeles, I always thought of the Music Center as a shining light in our community. I am honored to join such a well-respected and forward-thinking institution that is invested in engaging all Angelenos and enriching their lives through the arts and arts learning,” Boagni said. “Rachel Moore’s leadership and her commitment to inclusive and equitable practices across all Music Center programming, policies, communications and business strategies underscores for me that the Music Center’s efforts are not simply a timely project or initiative, but a true commitment to ensuring that DEAI efforts are woven into the fabric of everything the organization does.”
Boagni has extensive experience in employee relations, learning and development, talent acquisition, talent management, benefits, compensation, diversity development and succession planning. She held executive-level positions with companies including IHOP, Home Depot, Mars, McDonald’s Corporation and the Walt Disney Company.
