Lindsay Dillon grew up on Seattle's Eastside and developed a strong connection to the dance community from an early age. As a student at Pacific Northwest Ballet, she was exposed to both the timeless works of classical ballet and the cutting edge of choreography from contemporary artists. Dance has remained a constant throughout Lindsay's life. While living in New York City, Florence, Italy, San Francisco, and Chicago to pursue educational and career opportunities, she continued to make time for dancing and supporting the art form as a patron. Now back in Seattle, Lindsay brings 20 years of experience working across business and technology to the board. Her love of dance has never diminished, and she is excited to support a core personal belief: that everyone should have the opportunity to experience movement and dance from a young age.
