Tim Wroten joined CFHV in July of 2024 as Interim Director of Special Projects to support CFHV in advancing key initiatives. He will conduct research to guide strategic decisions, advise on external affairs, and ensure the success of projects involving staff, board members, donors, and community partners.
Tim previously managed content and communications projects at the Mellon Foundation and the New-York Historical Society. He also taught English in Spain. Tim has volunteered for AIDS Walk New York, the French Institute Alliance Francaise, Fundacion Madrina, Fundacion Manantial, and the Victorian Society of New York where he served on the board.
Tim received a Master’s of Arts in arts administration from Baruch College, a Bachelor’s of Arts in history from The New School, and a certificate in teaching ESL from Arizona State University. “Practice, Progress, and Persistence: Identifying an Audience Development Framework for the French Institute Alliance Francaise,” a case study for his master’s, was nominated for the Marlow Prize in Arts Leadership. His other research has explored evolving organizational cultures and how arts organizations can promote care and social impact within their communities.
Tim’s other interests include animal welfare, immigrant and LGBTQ+ empowerment, mental health awareness, languages, travel, and the outdoors. While Tim is a Delaware native, his maternal great-grandmother, Elizabeth Kipp Elder, was born and raised in Rhinebeck.
