Kennedy Center fires high-ranking staffer who worked there for a decade

Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — which is chaired by President Donald Trump and led by a board he personally selected – recently fired one of its most experienced staffers despite her 10-year history with the institution.

The Daily Beast reported Thursday that Sarah Kramer, who was the Kennedy Center's senior director of artistic operations, has been fired as of Wednesday night. The auto-reply to messages sent to her professional email address reads: "Sarah Kramer is no longer an employee of the Kennedy Center."

Kramer was terminated after first starting at the Kennedy Center as an assistant manager for special programming in 2016. She worked her way up the organization's ranks and attained the titles of assistant manager, manager for programming and eventually became senior director of artistic operations. She did not provide a reason for her firing, and the Kennedy Center has not yet responded to requests for comment.

"Sarah is a member of the Programming team, working across both the curatorial and production teams and across all genres," an archived version of her staff bio reads. "Her heart and career started with dance and she aspires to actually put on a pair of tap shoes instead of shuffling around her kitchen with a stray 'Shuffle Off to Buffalo.'"

Kramer's firing comes just one day after another high-profile Kennedy Center hire quit after less than two weeks on the job. Kevin Couch had been hired as senior vice president of artistic programming on January 16, though he resigned from the role just 12 days later. Prior to being hired at the Kennedy Center, Couch ran his branding firm CBC Creative, and previously worked as a manager of various musical acts including 1990's R&B group Color Me Badd.

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
