Dan Acheson renewed as DCI Chief Executive Director
Voted upon during a meeting of the Drum Corps International Board of Directors, Daniel E. Acheson has been renewed as the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the organization.
Acheson is just the third to serve as CEO of Drum Corps International in more than four decades. The two-year contract extension coincided with Acheson’s milestone 20th anniversary on the job. He stepped into the position in 1995 after serving as executive director of the Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps for 10 years in Toledo, Ohio.
During Acheson’s tenure, Drum Corps International has developed into a powerful, nonprofit, global youth organization with far-reaching artistic, educational and organizational influence, and an annual operating budget in excess of $11 million.
“Under Dan’s leadership DCI has seen incredible growth for the organization and the drum corps activity in general,” said Fred Morrison, Chairman of the DCI Board of Directors. “The Drum Corps International Dan inherited is more than three times greater in revenues today than on the day he signed his first contract with DCI.“
