Director of Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg to retire in 2016

LEWISBURG, W.Va. (AP) - The executive director of Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg plans to step down next year.

WVNS-TV (https://bit.ly/1PPBga1 ) reports that Susan L. Adkins will retire on March 1, 2016.

Adkins says she is grateful for the opportunities she has been given to support the arts and the community.

Carnegie Hall’s board has formed a search committee to find a new executive director.

Steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie built the center in 1902 as a classroom building for a women’s school. The center says it’s one of only four Carnegie Halls in the world that are still in continuous use.
