Santa Rosa Symphony Welcomes New Board Member

The Santa Rosa Symphony welcomes Keith Hilen as the newest member of its Board of Directors. Keith Hilen is a software engineer with broad industry experience. His stints include startups and established companies, most recently Rakuten Advertising. Hilen studied at the United States Military Academy at West Point and at University of California, Davis.

Said Santa Rosa Symphony President Alan Silow, of the appointment, "We are honored to have Keith Hilen on our Board and look forward to his enthusiastic contributions to our vital arts organization."

Hilen grew up in Marin County and spent much of his career in Silicon Valley. He moved to Santa Rosa 20 years ago, and divides his time between the North and South Bay. He has a lifelong love of classical and orchestral music, and has been an avid attendee of the Santa Rosa Symphony for five years. He has played trumpet, guitar and piano, but considers himself more of an appreciative listener than musician. His hobbies include sailing, hiking and running.
