About Brigid DeVries
After Jan Foody's passing in April 2015, Brigid DeVries took the reins as sitting Board President. A member of the original Ballet Guild and board, Brigid has watched Kentucky Ballet Theatre grow into the successful organization it has become.

Brigid previously served as the Commissioner of the Kentucky State High School Athletic Association and brings a wealth of management and leadership experience to the organization. Brigid also works with several other non-profits throughout Central Kentucky.
About Sarah Robinson
Sarah Robinson has been a part of the Kentucky Ballet Theatre family since its inception in 1998.

Sarah graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Political Science from the University of Kentucky and received her Juris Doctorate Degree from Chase Law School at Northern Kentucky University. She attributes much of her success in her educational and professional career to the discipline and performance attitude that she learned under the leadership of Kentucky Ballet Theatre’s world-class instructors.
