Eli Broad, MOCA rescuer
This press release just hit my inbox at 10:49 p.m., sent to me by Karen Denne, chief communications officer for the Broad Foundation:
MOCA to Announce Financial Improvement Plan, New Management
WHO: Tom Unterman (MOCA Board Co-Chair ), David Johnson (MOCA Board Co-Chair ), Eli Broad (Founder of The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation), Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (tent.), City Council President Eric Garcetti, City Councilwoman Jan Perry, New MOCA CEO To Be Announced
WHAT: MOCA trustees, local philanthropists and city leaders will hold a press conference to announce a plan to improve the museum’s finances and introduce new management.
It looks like the Eli Broad option has won. The e-mail alert informed me that “Eli Broad will be available for interviews immediately following the press conference” where the new regime at LA MOCA will be announced. The event is scheduled to take place at 10:30 a.m., Los Angeles time.
