Executive Director
Douglas Fair joined SOST as Executive Director in 2014. With over 30 years of experience in fundraising, orchestral management, and arts administration, he finds his role to be a wonderful utilization of his talents and experience. Fair works closely with Maestro Tipton in concert planning, program creation and shares his love of all types of music. As a fundraising specialist, he works with corporations and individuals in garnering support for the orchestra, through sponsorships, grants, and individual giving. He also works closely with the board of directors to set the direction of the orchestra and work with community relations. A trumpet player by training, you can occasionally find him in the trumpet section.
