Aisha Ahmad-Post

Aisha Ahmad-Post is the executive director of the Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver. She has been managing a significant renovation project that includes the replacement of all 971 chairs in the June Swaner Gates Concert Hall. Ahmad-Post faced unexpected financial challenges when tariffs from the U.S. government added an additional $140,000 to her project budget, complicating the center's recovery from financial strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
