August 14, 2025 marks the end of an era here at OSAC as Marianne Woods enters a new chapter of her life. After a remarkable 35 years with the same nonprofit arts organization, including 20 as the Performing Arts - School Tour Manager for OSAC, she is retiring from the organization. Of course, Marianne is not retiring from her love of the stage and singing, and you will be able to find her on a stage soon.

After having a number of different roles within OSAC, Marianne took over the School Tour program (formerly known as Junior Concerts) in August 2004, and her passion for the program and the artists was very evident. The respect the schools, faculty and artists have for Marianne, and the program has been a very positive impact on OSAC as an organization as a whole.

Marianne has left the program in excellent shape, and we are fortunate enough to have a person in-house who can continue that impact. Rosemary McCallum has been with OSAC since March 2012 in a Communications and Administrative Assistant role, including designing our Annual Report and Showcase Program for that time.

She has just returned from maternity leave and agreed to take over the School Tour program, which we are thrilled about. Besides being a Mom to two young children, Rosemary has also helped with the School Tour program at various points in her career with OSAC so was a natural fit to fill this role.

We wish Marianne all the best in retirement and welcome Rosemary to her new role with OSAC.
