The Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts (ECPA) has announced the addition of two new members to the Board of Directors this fall. They are Francine Pepitone Erenburg and Monica Shah.
“A well-planned out expansion of our Board is necessary to reach ECPA’s goal of building a performance center we can all look forward to enjoying,” said Laura Michaud, Board secretary. “As ECPA moves into the next phase of development, we need experts in numerous areas. Francine and Monica are welcome additions with their experience in marketing and project management. Their enthusiasm and knowledge will continue to propel ECPA as we move towards our next level of successes.”
Francine Pepitone Erenburg grew up in the city of Chicago and recently moved to the western suburbs. Francine brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in sales and marketing. She is business development director with HH Global (previously InnerWorkings), a marketing execution firm. Prior to this position, she owned her own marketing and branded merchandise firm which was acquired by InnerWorkings.
Her career also included chapters at Hyatt Hotels & Resorts and Marriott International. Francine loves the theater and looks forward to bringing her high level of energy and dedication to ECPA. She, her husband Stephen, and their beloved Shih-Poo, JoJo, are happy to call Elmhurst their new home.
Monica Shah grew up in Wood Dale and attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where she received her Bachelor of Science in Business degree with a focus on Management Information Systems.
Monica’s impressive career encompassed consulting and project managing for influential companies such as Accenture and McMaster-Carr.
“I have enjoyed being an active part of the Elmhurst community, making friends and connections,” she said. “I look forward to contributing in a bigger way to Elmhurst, bringing the joy of the arts, especially live music and theater, to the western suburbs.” Monica, her husband, Baiju, and their two sons have lived in Elmhurst for 11 years.
ECPA continues to expand the Board of Directors, seeking diverse perspectives in individuals who are passionate about the performing arts and believe in the mission of ECPA.
