MAGGIE BOEPPLE RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT OF LMCC

Maggie Boepple has resigned as president of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC), reports Artinfo. Diego Segalini, the LMCC’s current vice president, has been named acting president until a replacement is found.

As president of the LMCC, she helped usher in the creation of LentSpace, which welcomed contemporary art pieces onto a disused lot in SoHo by creating a temporary public park. Before joining the LMCC, Boepple worked for the London commissioner of transport as a senior adviser and as the chief lobbyist within Mayor Ed Koch’s administration, the first woman to hold the position.
