Catherine Dehoney has served Chorus America with heart, vision, determination, and humor for nearly 25 years. Her special people-first leadership style means that so many of us have personally felt her impact as she has guided Chorus America's work.

As Catherine departs Chorus America for new adventures, join us in celebrating her leadership with a special gift to the Catherine Dehoney Fund. This fund, newly created by the Chorus America board and staff, will advance Chorus America's mission and vision through strategic partnership opportunities, program growth, and innovation.

"Catherine has been a true blessing to the work and mission of Chorus America, and she leaves the organization in an incredibly strong position to carry that work and mission forward." 

-Anton Armstrong

Catherine's many achievements as President and CEO include the creation of new programs that serve an inclusive choral field, critical leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocacy for the value of choruses in their communities. 

All who know Catherine know that she is a visionary leader, an inspiring colleague, and a warm and compassionate person. Your gift, no matter the amount, is deeply meaningful and includes the opportunity to share your well-wishes with Catherine.

"You’ve created a space where I’ve been able to grow and connect authentically with others in our field. Your vision and dedication have not only strengthened the organization but have touched countless lives, including mine." 

- Alysia Lee

-Carrie Tennant

"Your strength is in your sincerity and personal touch. In addition to beauty of tone and clarity of text, the best choruses sing with sincerity and personal touch. Thank you for being a champion for the arts and an advocate and cheerleader for the choral arts!"
