Chase Law looks back at her first year as president and CEO of Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Organization is working on new strategic plan.
Chase Law, the new president and chief executive of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, has made major career decisions twice in her life during challenging times â right after 9/11 in 2001 and amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
When 9/11 happened, Law was living in New York as an actor, singer and dancer. But after the attacks, she sat back and wondered, âWhat do I need to be doing here with my life?â
While researching other jobs in the arts field, philanthropy/fundraising kept popping up, so she decided to pursue it as a career, saying that fundraising is a way to keep the arts alive and growing.
