Juliane Slater,
Executive Director

Julie Slater joins EMERGE125 after having worked for the José Limón Dance Foundation for the best part of 10 years. During that time, she assumed a variety of positions, including Communications Manager, Company Manager, and Development Coordinator, before ultimately assuming the pivotal role of Director of Finance & Administration. In this latter position, she was responsible for maintaining the fiscal health of the $1.5M budget organization by means of financial management, fundraising, external relationship management, and oversight of company management and administrative staff. Slater's contributions were instrumental in the foundation’s turnaround: they have transitioned from a company at one point over a half-million dollars in debt, to today, when the foundation can boast substantial cash reserves. An immigrant originally from Brazil, Slater holds a Baccalaureate in Dance from the Faculdade de Artes do Paraná in Curitiba and a Masters in Dance Science from Trinity Laban Conservatoire for Music and Dance in London.
