      <![CDATA[Ask around in the arts 'n literature community and you're likely to hear some strong opinions about Rankin, especially from former staff members. Margit has a well-known rep for being  quite the temper-tantrum, yelly-screamy type of boss. The employee turnover rate at SAL during her tenure sort of speaks for itself.<br />
<br />
And as a former SAL subscriber, I'll say that I'm not very sorry to see her gone if only for the fact that I never have to listen to her introduce an author ever again.

      <![CDATA[A smart choice by Artist Trust. I worked with Rankin years ago at UW where she created several significant relationships between the university and community arts groups, which resulted in rich collaborations that supported work in visual art, theater, film, music, and literature. She knows the nuts and bolts of grantmaking to be sure, and I'm not sure if personal taste is supposed to drive the agenda of someone in an exec dir. role as it would in an artistic director or curatorial position, but if Artist Trust is looking for someone who will be a strong and active advocate for the organization and the artists it serves, Rankin will deliver.
