“They’d like it to be a done deal; it’s not a done deal.' At least one board member plans to vote against the controversial pick of Kate Sofis to be the next head of the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center.
A surprising pick to helm the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center is placing a spotlight on the cast of mostly well-connected people responsible for its oversight.
“I intend to vote no — and I’ll make no bones about it on her appointment if it’s presented at the board meeting on 21st,” said Quentin Kopp, a former judge and San Francisco supervisor who has served on the board since 2021. Kopp credited Sofis for being well-educated but noted that she lacks experience in arts management that two other finalists touted.The War Memorial job posting, initially set to expire in April and then extended into May, explicitly listed as a minimum requirement of “at least five years of proven and demonstrated successful progressive responsibility managing the operations of a performing arts venue and leading a diverse team.
Sofis’ LinkedIn does not list any such experience. Prior to joining Breed’s administration, Sofis co-founded and led SFMade, a nonprofit that advocates for local manufacturers.
