The Englert Theatre announced Thursday that executive director Andre Perry has been named to the board of the National Independent Venue Association. NIVA was instrumental in the lobby for funding from Congress as part of the latest relief bill and worked in tandem with Americans for the Arts, National Association of (Movie) Theatre Owners and other key national organizations, a Facebook post announcing Perry s new position reads.
The organization was formed last year, early in the COVID-19 pandemic, as an advocacy group for venues like The Englert on a national level. The aim of NIVA was to push for funds for venues that rely on live attendance rendered unsafe by the pandemic.
